Two garbage cans―New Mexico, 1972 アメリカ・インディアン村の二つのゴミ缶

NARAHARA Ikko 奈良原一高

NARAHARA, a native of Fukuoka Prefecture, found himself in the spotlight with Human Land, an exhibition he presented while still a graduate student, in 1956. The Indian village, which is located on top of a steep-sided sandstone mesa in New Mexico, is known as Sky City. The garbage cans that appear to be floating in thin air in the village plaza are said to prevent tricks by coyotes and dogs.

Anti-American poster (wall painting). Perhaps the motif of a figure stabbed with a sword but holding pen and paper conceals the hope that the constitution, which had been suspended by the coup d'état, would be restored
