It is the first gallery I and my team bound up. Many people helped us on the day of the opening. Six days later, east Japan shook greatly and our world changed. In front of terribleness of nature beyond the imagination, artists are thinking what artists can do.

(Kashiwa-city/Chiba)

It is the first building that my team and I bound up. The 5-story building of 13x13x14m is almost a cube. As is expected, a scale is different from a private house. I bundled 24 polyester rope and handcrafted a big rope of approximately 200m.
