珠洲の祭りを体験した作家は、祭りとは会いたい人に会える約束の場だと考えた。祭りで実際に使 われていたキリコに、地元 で集めた古着 を裂いて結び直した「記憶の紐」を組み合わせた作品を制作。無数の記憶が行き交う約束の場所をつくり出した。地域の人たちと制作した「記憶の紐」は1万本の目標を遥かに超えて1万8千本が編まれた。

Having experienced Suzu festivals, this artist felt they were a guaranteed opportunity to meet the people you wanted to see. The flow of thoughts and memories connected through these festivals created history. Using old kiriko and string made by tearing and retying old clothes, the artist creates a meeting place filled with rich memories, like a forest teeming with wildlife.
