"To The Fog" is a requiem, farewell speech, and memorial to a loss in the pandemic.

As the loss of a family member becomes public tragedy when it's caused by COVID-19, we are facing the new reality, where the sense of direction in time and space has been lost: the unrealistic reality.

In the work, Tateisi sits on a beach next to a horn speaker, announces his experience, which public and private, static and dynamic, real and unreal are entangled, publicly to the fog, which distancelessly connects our countries.

Referring to Antony Gormley's 'Another place' and Hiroshi Sugimoto's 'Seascapes', Tateisi carefully composes the image of another seascape.

「To The Fog」は、2020年春に作家身辺で起きた悲劇へのメモリアル作品である。

見舞いにもいけず、看取ることもできず、燃え上がる肉体を見送ることもできず。ある日とつぜん行方不明になったような感覚で日々を過ごすように、われわれは空間と時間の方向を五里霧中のように見失っているのではないか。霧の向こうにある、戻れなくなった地に向かって、公/私、静/動、実/虚が織り交ざる想いを投げかける。
