这是一位将漂至珠洲海岸的垃圾与发生在印度动物园的长颈鹿交换项目相重合的作家。在失去故乡与地域性的现代,创作“迷路的长颈鹿”的母与子。母亲凝视大海,婴儿忙着吮吸乳汁。将地球生活中的“寻找答案”表现于他们的颈项,像花环一样被安装的望远镜,仿佛在问我们家在何方。是否有我们能回的家?如果有,在哪里?
The artist combined flotsam that reached the coast of Suzu with an incident involving a giraffe exchange program at an Indian zoo. In this age when hometowns and regionality are being lost, Harsha has created a parent-and-child pair of lost giraffes. The mother gazes at the sea while the baby busily nurses. Telescopes and other objects representing a search for answers to life on earth are attached like garlands around their necks. The work seems to ask us, “Where is home?” Is there a home to return to? If so, where could it be?
