美術館でもっともよく目にする注意書き「Please do not touch」。触ることが前提とされるものも、美術品となると触れてはいけないものになります。触れなければ機能しないものに触れてはいけないという矛盾に着目し制作した作品です。鏡面に磨かれ積み上げられた真鍮のブロックは触れればずれが生じ、指紋が付着します。作品展という文脈に置かれたバランスゲームは、展示期間を経てどのように変化するのでしょうか。

The theme of this work is 'Please do not touch', which is the most common regulation in museums. Objects that are meant to be touched become something that should not be touched when they become works of art. This work was created with a focus on the contradiction of not touching something that does not function unless you touch it. The highly polished brass and the structure of this game allow it to reveal traces of every touch. How will the balancing game, placed in the context of an exhibition of artworks, change over the period of the exhibition?
