FOOTSTEPS OF AN ELEPHANT
1977. Day on
cloth,480×420cm.
/Kyoto Independent Exhibition, Kyoto Museum of Art.
Only the keepers of the Hansin Park Zoo, among
the zoo and circuses in the Kansai regions,
complied with my outrageous request to make an elephant step upon a sponge
soaked with black dye
and walk on a cloth spread on the ground.
In this way, I made a footprint of an elephant.
