Landscape

Description

"I walk in no special direction until I find some very special image in the streets or in the landscape, for example; flowers, trees, river, sky, sea, sun etc. I bring the fraed slides back to the gallery. I show 80 landscapes slides using two slide projectors. The landscape slides are shown on the same wall at the same time. This makes a different kind of image. I leave some objects against the screen at different angles. The video cameras and the monitors set the diagonal in the space. Monitor 1 shows the objects, the slides, monitor 2 and sometimes spectators who come into the view of the video camera. Monitor 2 shows monitor 1." (Mineo Aayamaguchi, December 1982) (Source, pdf of the exhibition flyer, Rewind)
