Screen Memories

photographic installation 





Screen Memories portrays a girl wearing the Noh mask of a boy called Jyuroku (which literally means sixteen). She wanders through various military and nuclear power facilities throughout Japan while a narration of Atsumori’s fate from the Tale of the Heike plays in the background. The Noh mask of ‘Jyuroku’ bears the face of a young warrior named Taira-no Atsumori, who was killed at the age of sixteen.
