「有為転変は世の習い」という仏教表現は、人間同士の因果によって生じる絶え間ない事象の揺らぎと膨縮を意味します。10年前の3月11日、私達は東日本震災という未曾有の大災厄に遭遇しながらも、人と人が手を取り合ってお互いの命を支える「正/生の連鎖」という揺らぎと膨縮を起こしました。その一方で、昨年、奇しくも同じ3月11日、WHOはCOVID-19のパンデミックを表明。私達は人と人がお互いの命を脅かす「負/訃の連鎖」という揺らぎと膨縮を起こしています。今回はこうした人と人の連鎖が巻き起こす因果を、ヘリウムガスを挿入したバルーンの揺れと大きさによって表現しました。バルーンの「予測不可能な揺らぎ」と「膨縮の特性」が世の有為転変を可視化する役目を果たす事で、「人と人の繋がり合いがもたらす正負の因果」を感じ取って頂ける機会を得て頂きたいと思います。
The Buddhist expression 'All worldly things are transitory' refers to constant fluctuation and expansion and contraction of events caused by cause and effect between human beings. On 11 March 2011, we experienced unprecedented disaster of the Great East Japan Earthquake, but also experienced fluctuation and expansion and contraction of 'positive/life chain' of people working hand in hand to sustain each other's lives.Meanwhile, last year, coincidentally on the same 11 March, WHO announced a COVID-19 pandemic.
We have a fluctuating and swelling 'negative/death chain' where people threaten each other's lives.This time, I expressed cause and effect of this human-to-human chain of events by means of swinging and size of a balloon filled with helium gas.The balloon's "unpredictable fluctuations" and "inflatable and deflectable characteristics" serve to visualize the world's mutability, and I would like you to feel "positive and negative causes and effects of human interconnectedness".
