At this exhibition, OLTA have created a work based on Homi Danchi in Toyota, adding research on ℎ, or public housing developments, in various locations and also superimposing a cave-like image of a “coal mine” representing changes in the industrial and social structure of postwar Japan. Construction of Homi Danchi, which is today known for housing a large number of Brazilians of Japanese descent, begun in 1969 and the first residents moved in in 1975, making it one of Japan’s oldest public housing developments. It was developed after large numbers of workers from coalmines that had closed as the coalmining industry declined who became “refugees” arrived in the area to work at automobile manufacturing plants….OLTA’s choice of using the piping work or infrastructure of these ℎ as the foundation of their work seems to symbolize the irresistible power of the substructure / infrastructure that envelops postwar Japan and is also related to the coalmines (i.e. underground world) of Chikuho depicted in the work of the poet Kazue Morisaki, who OLTA has been researching with great interest in recent years.
