»Candy«

2005 Video installation, candy, glass bowl, video, 19:22min.

The project began on the day that Yamashita and Kobayashi created a giant candy the size of a football (18cm in diameter).
From that day they kept licking the candy day after day for about six months, with the aim of creating an ordinary candy, the kind you can buy on the market.
The video work, shot with the artists in profile, records this process. While they were licking, the landscape in the background changed from snowy winter to summer.
ボーリング玉のような直径１８cmの巨大な飴を二人で作った日からこの作品は始まる。
その日から、来る日も来る日も二人は飴をなめ続ける。ただ市販品のような普通の飴を作る事だけを目的に。
結果、行為は６ヶ月間にもおよび、二人の背景に映る景色は、冬から夏へ、ワイマールからベルリンへと移り変わる。
