WORK
Seeds Folklore
Chikai Kakizaki（Japan）
This work expresses the life of people as evidenced by food, with small seeds as material. According to Kakizaki, “They circulate, with an all-encompassing memory. They do not remain, and keep changing – looking into the present and living through everything.” He focuses on the food culture of Omachi, dealing with episodes, folk tales connected to food, and ways of relation to nature, to decorate the space of Rurban Nakatsuna’s café&restaurant YAMAMBA.
