IE Picnic: THE PLAY HAVE A HOUSE　　

2015.6.14

/Okawa River, Osaka

In August 1972, we made a house (“IE” in Japanese) and lived in it for six days while floating down the Kizu and Yodo Rivers towards Osaka Bay. On the sixth day, due to a typhoon approaching, we could travel no further than the area near Toyosato Bridge, Osaka, so we dismantled and burned the house.

In June 2015, we reconstructed the IE, and set it afloat from the right bank of Okawa River, Osaka, near the point where we had arrived in the original event. We spent the entire day in it. The “time of IE” flowed once again.

* We exhibited documentation of “IE Picnic” in Dojima River Biennale 2015, Dojima River Forum, Osaka, July 25–August 30.
