An installation using an entire converted former condiment factory in a working class part of town filled with small micro-factories. Still leaking and damaged from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and unclear how long it would be usable, I drew attention to the fragility of its details I also wanted to leave a record, knowing that it represented a history that will soon will be gone. All around it were small metalworking factories, so I created a townscape made of nuts and bolts, and transposed styrofoam balls that moved in the wind to give something like human movement.
