川の水でスープを作り、味わうプロジェクト。さまざまな文化圏にある家庭のスープ(日本人にとっての味噌汁のようなシンプルなスープ)を都市に流れる川の水を使って作り、飲む。振る舞う。台北の郊外に自分の畑を持ち生活する男性と製作したビデオ。
Japanese artist Miku Sato cooked miso soup using water from a river in Japan. Matthew, a Taiwanese participant, prepared a traditional Taiwanese egg soup using water from a river in Taiwan. This video documents our performance: collecting river water, cooking the soups, and exchanging them to taste each other’s offering. Though both soups are humble and rooted in daily life, the two participants live very different lifestyles. Sato resides in a densely populated urban area, while Matthew lives in a rural region rich in nature.
