There is a small mountain of industrial waste in Japan. The small mountain was so rich in nature that it was hard to believe that it was a polluted place. She started shooting with a pinhole camera to capture the image. However, a short time after shooting, Oyama was redeveloped and became a vacant lot. I used a projector to project a photograph of Oyama that I had taken in the past onto the vacant ground. In the darkness, the faint figure that emerges is a scene from the past, but at the same time, it feels like a figure of the future that will be recreated after many years.
