This is a joint work which based on new experiment 'participation of viewers' with philosopher, Yasuo Kobayashi.'Participation of viewers' means that making an artwork together over conversation with people other than artist which is chosen by Biennale executive office. This time, i discussed with Mr Kobayashi several times and he selected keywords for the work. These keywords are 'Dividing' 'Human rights' 'History' 'River'.
I've inspired by these words and proposed the artwork formed with the groove on the floor like the river and placed around 400 of the LED digits in it which counts down from 9 to 1. The river has 1m of width, 80cm of depth and 13m of length which makes the river uneasy to across for people and there is the bridge placed on center of the river. People are not able to go to next room without across the deep river. The river embodies '38 degrees' and countless life and death lines in that river, shining. There is hidden message, 'You must across it'. I have used minimum size LED(1X1.3cm) to realize the image of countless life and death.
