Okayama Art Summit 2025: The Parks of Aomame

Installed in a vacant commercial unit in the heart of the Omotecho Shopping Street – formerly used for retail and later as a social gathering place – Untitled (Go) engages with the quiet history of the site. The work activates the linear depth of the space through the presence and movement of two rotating circular platforms, one black and the other white. Originally designed to maneuver and park vehicles in narrow spaces, or used as devices to display products in commercial settings, these platforms have been stripped bare of their original function. With no car or object placed on them, they carry nothing but their own weight, functioning instead as forms of motorized monochromes – silent and circular forces working through the site.
