I realized a sink has no purpose without a water system. So I researched the sewer line from Gallery Isogaya i-space to the Shibaura Water Treatment Plant in Tokyo, where the sewage from the gallery is cleaned and sent back to the river.

 In 2013, I wore the kitchen sink and walked 4.5km following the hidden sewer line to make this documentary film. A man I met at a cafe during that walk said, “the sink is the boundary between clean water and sewage.” His comment inspired me. I then naturally began to murmur, “I am the boundary between clean water and sewage.” 

I can’t live without water as my body is composed of 60% water. Wherever I walked with the mobile kitchen sink, I could create a dialogue with people who have different cultural backgrounds.
