Eternity of the Memory – an Exhibition at the Gallary

Hi. I’m Yuta Ikeda.  Last week, we exhibited testimonies of hibakushas at a gallary in our campus.  I’m going to write about it. 

Thanks to Shinpei Takeda, a director of the film “HIROSHIMA NAGASAKI DOWNLOAD”, we watched the videos of interview to a hibakusha, conducted by him.  We made a script from the interview, writing down one word to another onto manuscript paper.  We discussed how to exhibit testimonies, advised by Mr. Takeda.  After some discussions, we decided to cover all the wall with lots of manuscript papers, to design the background by manuscript papers themselves, and to make six works of art expressing what we were inspired.  (Please have a look at photos.)

 

Now I’ll introduce a work by our group, one of the six groups.  As you see in the photo below, we drew a phrase “To think about the Abomb, the first thing I remember is the scene of the brother and his sister. Then I can’t say any more. I always pray for them that they rest happily in the heaven. I saw tens and hundreds of suffering people, but I especially remember the boy picking up retten noodle, not eating it himself but having his sister eat.” in a shape of an infinity sign.  We tried to express that each one has something that is not forgotten but remains in one’s heart.  The speaker seems to be living a completely new life, but he has such a feeling that lasts silently at the bottom of his heart.  It repeats, being recalled from time to time.

 

What I think is important in conveying the memory is, to express “us presently facing to the memory of hibakusha”.  We should input something by hibakusha’s memory, digest them, and output not directly what we input but actively adding what we interpreted, in some case.

Y.I.
