Frottage realized during the 52nd Venice Biennale. "The artist spend nine years making frottage of curbstones of a platform in a station formerly operated by the Japanese National Railways located in the district of Hiroshima, which was once a major military port. [...] In addition, several workshops were held during the exhibition period. By sharing the expression of frottage with many people, the act of capturing and recording the invisible past and memories had spread to Venice" - Venice Biennale
