The All Hallow's Installation in London this summer consisted of three Mercy Seat that used my children’s arm measurements (Ty, 17, C.J., 15, and Lydia, 13) as their “portraits.” (see www.makotofujimura.com, under "essays" for more information on my Mercy Seat series). I also floated "Nagasaki Koi" video on top of the installation (thanks to Meryl Doney, The Hayward Gallery curator who selected me for the exhibit), and also had the video imbedded in the small boat covered with Japanese paper.
I will be using the Hiroshima/Nagasaki images again for my next exhibit in New York City, "Golden Fire" at Sara Tecchia Roma from Nov. 30th to Jan. 13th.

What a lovely space for your work, Mako... I'd like to see those close up. Well, I'd like to see them 'in the flesh'!
