[related artist info] Musée Cernuschi, an Asian art museum in Paris, France, features Kentaro TAKI's "Kannawa"(2009, 6min.). "Kannnawa" is a video sketch of a hot spring town, Kannawa in Beppu, Kyushu, Japan. The steam of the hot spring source is coming out from every ground and animates the town to be active. However, this town might be taken visitors by the other new branded resort spa. So Kannawa shows us it’s decaying quietly.
