]]> Cultivate House: Uncertain Generation https://olta.jp/en/works/cultivate-house-uncertain-generation/ Mon, 18 Jul 2022 13:01:24 +0000 https://olta.jp/?post_type=works&p=3161 Olta built a temporary house on a piece of land unused for several years, and while living there, and sought out a model of farming different from the highly industrialized one of investment and recoupment. This project was reconfigured from a previous endeavor according to the specific features of the land in Moriya City. Cultivate House functions as an actual house with a “barn” for storing tools as well as beds and a composting toilet. Part of the wall opens out toward the field like a stage. In the fields, an experimental method of no-till farming using companion plants and grass mulch and grew crops using native species instead of F1 hybrid seeds that only yield a one-off crop. Observing the process of the crops growing, we have created prints on artificial materials found at the site like plastic and aluminum cans. We have also used the bamboo and arrowroot growing wild on the land to make objects. We cook and eat the crops, and use rice bran or husk to turn human waste into compost.
Over the course of this project that proceeded as if stitching up the gaps within industrialized agriculture, there emerged prints, frottages, drawings, and harvested crops, all unfolding at the field and hut.

“Crucifixion of bread”
Mix flour and stick to bamboo. We make fire at the riverside of Kamogawa, Kyoto and bake flour, and make “Crucifixion of bread”. We will carry it from Arashiyama to the waterfall of Kuuya and make it hit the waterfall.
 
“Untitled”
Based on the concept of meaninglessness, we combine several pieces of origami to create a Buddha statue. At a shrine or temple, priests burn old charms and other things with praying once a year. We bring it to temple (Setsubun festival) in Kyoto and burn it.
