The room of the tunnel

Instinctive weirdness

The suggestion that there may be in the temporary stay place in the tunnel which was not used.

The depth of the tunnel is darkness. Light and the sound leave the few as advance to the depths and disappear. It is only had light and sound and sense of hands and feet that one's nerve is possible in a support in this limited world.

Therefore I become afraid that stay in, when I look back toward the entrance shining in the distance, the existence of the circumference is big, and my existence is felt small. It is the scary world that resembled the bottom of a deep well. However, at the same time there is the "As it is to be" comfort which cannot fight against a big thing. I think that there was such a place in many places in old days.

There are crowds wrapping up life and information to overflow to a screen. For us live by going out with such a thing, the fear that nothing has it, and understand nothing will be more than an old person.

The suggestion in here is the world that gave a little light and sounds to the darkness of the tunnel. There is a space such as the boundary line of fear and the beauty, and the place that I look hard, and listen carefully. The chilly air of the tunnel becomes the natural air conditioner if I come in the afternoon of the midsummer, and the voice of the far-off cicada or the coldness of a stone handed down to my body whet my sense.

Only with fluorescent paint and few lights of the luminous moss, the boom of footsteps to step on gravel, become the tool knowing the sense of distance of the sojourner. The only rule of the sojourner is ”not must talk".

The uneasiness and the fear that darkness includes, the comfort that the uneasiness includes, I made an image while thinking that want you feel them.
