Every day I dispose of something. Therefore, the slag which Ohmaki used for his creations presented in this exhibition may include some cinders of trash which I have disposed of. Ohmaki’s large installations which appeared in the TWS Shibuya show us the negative aspects which are the price of our comfortable lives. Nevertheless, I might forget this serious aspect of our daily lives tomorrow since I can enjoy looking at the installations without getting hurt by walking on them with my shoes on, and being careful not to touch them. It is difficult for us to truly understand seriousness without suffering pain and, in fact it is easy to live without facing reality. This exhibition shows us not only his works but also demonstrates this “unrealistic attitude to life” that exists in today’s world. (Translated by Nozomi Nakayama)
