ENOKI Chu, <RPM-1200>, Steel, installation, 2006-
[Japan] ENOKI Chu RPM-1200
Enoki Chu has been regularly performing avant-garde art in Kobe since he first moved to the city at 16 years old. He worked on numerous installation artworks to protect himself. These works were based on poisonous materials such as nuclear bombs and dioxin. However in 1995 the Great Hanshin Earthquake led him to witness the destruction of the city where he lived with his own eyes. Following this event, he released installation art that did not pertain to either the city or weapons. He used the iron from his surroundings that was left over from when he made a living as a lathe worker and these works amounted to several tons of weight. These installation artworks will be exhibited at the Busan Biennale Exhibition. The materials used their production can be said to repeat endless change and proliferation without limitations to their fixed shape. |
