MUR 004 + CHARLOTTE HAYWOOD / EDWARD HORNE + HUMUS
オーストラリア、ニューサウスウェールズ州北部のバンドジャルンカントリー出身の地域アーティスト、シャーロット・ヘイウッドとエドワード・ホーンによって実現した魅力的な試み、HUMUSを紹介します。彼らのプロジェクトは、インスタレーション、パブリックアート、実験的建築、没入型シアターデザイン、サイトスペシフィックスカルプチャー、コミュニティエンゲージメント、ビデオ、サウンド、テキスタイル、教育学など様々なメディアを軽々と横断し、学際芸術の領域を掘り下げています。石垣島では、バイオミミクリー、エコ美学、マルチナラティブ、互恵性の探求に深く根ざしたクリエイティブなコラボレーションを展開しています。マ・ウミ・レジデンシーでは、織物職人、大工、船大工、音楽家、その他の地元の職人たちと会話を交わし、洞察を深め、コラボレーションを行うために集まっています。彼らの芸術活動の中心は、多様な文化との交流と没入であり、文化的、政治的、生態学的な規範を批判的に検討しながら、その独自性を尊重することです。
Coastal mapping in motion — the journey continues along the island’s northern peninsula. From the first blush of sunrise to the long shadows of dusk, Laurent and Nicolas trace the shifting edge where land meets sea, capturing the shore through systematic observation and image-making. The shoreline defines the island’s physical limits, yet it is also a point of emergence — where land, sea, and atmospheric forces meet and interact.
This mapping process is both attentive and open-ended. It records not only the present contours of the island but also its continual transformation, shaped by erosion, weather, tidal rhythms, and human activity. Waiting for the Shore becomes an act of attunement — to subtle changes, temporalities, and what slips through the membranes of place.
