Had The Rhino's Horn Been Longer, The World Would Have Been Changed

■Had The Rhino's Horn Been Longer, The World Would Have Been Changed

Ryuzo Kawano's latest project, on exhibition in Saitama Triennale 2016, is an 'alternate history Sci-Fi' artwork. The artist has created the 'Haniwa', groups of ancient clay artefacts within their imagined excavation site in Saitama B, a parallel world which co-exists with Saitama A, the world that we live in.

Excavated by group of residents of Saitama B, the Haniwa, have strangely different shapes compared to the ordinary Haniwa we are familiar with. The restored 'Rhino Haniwa' from Saitama B is displayed in the exhibition room, along with other excavated objects and survey materials.

Ryuzo Kawano imagines himself to be a Haniwa specialist in Saitama B, though he is an artist in Saitama A. If you compare his artworks created in "Saitama A" with the excavated Haniwa in "Saitama B," you will catch a glimpse of his inspirations transcending time and space.

Had The Rhino's Horn Been Longer in Saitama A, the world we live in, an archeologist may have already found and excavated Rhino Haniwa.
As would an archeologist paying rapt attention to an excavation, immerse yourself in 'Had The Rhino's Horn Been Longer', The World Would Have Been Changed'. You should be able to feel that the world is not absolute, but contingent. It is constantly changing with trivial matters.

■犀の角がもう少し長ければ歴史は変わっていただろう

「さいたまトリエンナーレ2016」で公開される川埜龍三の新プロジェクトは、現在われわれが存在している世界「さいたまA」と同時に存在する並行世界「さいたまB」で発見された埴輪群および発掘現場を創作し、視覚化する歴史改変SF作品です。

さいたまBで結成された「発掘キャラバン隊」の調査により出土した埴輪群は、私たちの知っている埴輪と似て非なる不思議な造形物群。トリエンナーレ会場となる旧民俗資料館の展示室には、それらの発掘調査資料とともに「犀型埴輪」が復元展示されます。また、さいたまAでは美術家、さいたまBでは埴輪研究家として活動するそれぞれの川埜龍三を比べたとき、時空を超えてインスピレーションが交錯する姿が垣間見えてきます。

もし、「さいたまA」でも犀の角が長ければ、すでに考古学者が犀型埴輪を土の中から見つけ出していたかも知れません。実際の発掘現場で考古学者が耳を澄ませるように、<犀の角がもう少し長ければ歴史は変わっていただろう>を覗いたとき、絶対的世界などなく、全てはほんの少しの何かで流動的に変わっていく情景作りだとも感じられるはずです。
