自分の中の青鬼(現実型)と赤鬼(夢想型)と、亡霊(他者)の3者の対話という形で説明がなされていきます。
展示は学生時代の課題から、独立後の苦労や失敗を重ねた初期も含めて、現在に至るまでの理想と現実と他者の視線を絡めて話が進んでいきます。
恐らくご自身の中でも葛藤と、周りと議論も有ったろうと推察しますが、現在視点からの振り返りを曝け出されたことへの勇気と、後進への叱咤激励に感謝しつつ拝見しました。
聞いては居ましたが、牧野富太郎記念館を手書き図面でやりきったのは正気の沙汰ではないな、と思います。
This is the Tokyo version of an exhibition originally held at Grandtoit in Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture.
The exhibition is presented as a dialogue among three figures: the Blue Ogre (representing reality), the Red Ogre (representing imagination and ideals), and a Ghost (representing others).
Beginning with projects from the architect’s student years and continuing through the struggles and failures of the early years after establishing an independent practice, the exhibition traces the journey to the present day through the interplay of ideals, reality, and the perspectives of others.
I imagine that there must have been many internal conflicts and discussions with those around him along the way. As I viewed the exhibition, I felt grateful for the courage it took to openly reflect on that journey from today’s perspective, as well as for the encouragement and challenge it offers to younger generations.
I had heard about it before, but completing the Makino Botanical Garden entirely with hand-drawn drawings truly seems almost beyond belief.
