Sinopsis

The installations by the American artist Ann Hamilton incorporate the viewer as if in a play. In her work "the picture is still", the artist used a former torpedo factory at Yokosuka, a symbol-laden place in that it has been consecutively used by Japanese and American armies as a military base. In this piece, enormous amounts of local fuel; charcoal rods made of one-metre-long pieces of branches and tree trunks are suspended from the ceiling on wires of different lengths, some of them so low that viewers almost have to stoop when they walk across the hall. The oppressive heavy shadows of the dense, blackened mass of dead matter create a space filled with abysmal sadness - an image that conjures up the darker chapters of Japanese-American history. This book considers the work.

Reseña del editor

The installations created by American artist Ann Hamilton are as atmospheric as they are intellectually complex, as grandiose and whimsical as they are serious and political. Whether she is employing tons of work clothes, a herd of ostriches, thousands of dollars' worth of pennies, kilometers of typewriter ribbon, loaves and loaves of bread dough, or teams of volunteer workers, Hamilton's process-oriented, site-specific environments incorporate viewers, teaching them to use their senses anew. In one of her most recent and spectacular works, which gives its name to this book, the artist inhabited a former torpedo factory at Yokosuka--a symbol-laden place in Japan, consecutively used by domestic and American armies for extensive military bases--and hung charcoal rods from the ceiling on strings of different length. The result was a space oppressed by the heavy shadows of the dense, blackened mass of dead matter that hung from above, filled with an abysmal sadness that conjured up the darker chapters of the history of Japanese-American relations.
