"Le Tombeau de Freddie / L'Internationale" 2009
This new work examines the theme of this exhibition, "Invisible power—The Spirit Residing in Things," from the perspective of "ghosts residing in media." Media technologies have been born one after another since the latter half of the 19th century, but how do these interfere in and confuse our axiomatic world? Moreover, the work borrows the form of a "haunted house" to show in a very easy-to-understand way just how parallel the relationship is between these experiences and experiences that have traditionally been called "spirits" or "ghosts" using photographs, recordings, telephones, and other everyday media technology as examples.
