“My Organs Lying on the Ground” is a stop motion animated film which is based on the Japanese folk belief called “Tainai Kuguri”- a ritual ceremony to go through a cave, grass ring or the interior of a large Buddhistic statue to experience rebirth. The Japanese word “Tainai (womb)“ not only refers to the internal organs, but also to the special empty space carved inside a Buddhist statue. It is the place where all life forms begin, a mysterious, somehow dark, infinite void, like a resting place after death. There, the boundary between life and matter dissolves, and the outer and inner worlds are repeatedly inverted. This work will be screened in cinema and as a video installation work in art galleries.

日本の民間信仰である胎内潜りと、その霊性的な空洞世界を舞台にした立体アニメーションの映像詩。日本語の「胎内」は子宮を指すだけでなく、仏像内部の空洞をも意味しており、そこはあらゆる生命体の始まりの場所であり、死後の安楽地のような、神秘的でどこか暗い、無限の空白が存在している。そこでは生物と物質の境界線は溶解し、外界と内界は絶えず反転し続ける。本作は2024年3月より劇場及び映像インスタレーションとして発表予定。
