Grandparent‘s original bathtub for wood-firing that had used in my childhood, blocks, ceder branch

In order to visualize the memory of the bath, agar gelatin made from 190L water in the bathtub. The gelatin was cooked in the backyard and turned over in the courtyard. During the exhibition, the gelatin on the floor was stepped on by people and became smaller and was washed away by the rain. In some areas, mold developed on it. The gelatin that stuck to the bottom of the bathtub dried and cracked.

From a barrel, you can hear two difference sounds. One was a continuous generated sounds condense the past weather forecast data of 3 years (1987 - 1990) into 8 hours. The sound was inspired by rain or waterdrops. Another sound was played in the dark room (B) only when someone approached a drum in the bright room (A). The sound became louder while somone approached the drum in the bright room (A), and the sound changed from water dropping into the crackling of flames. The water sound was generated by using the precipitation and average pressure data of past weather forecasts, and the fire sound was generated using the sunshine duration and maximum temperature data.
