At the site of Eight Cubic Meters, the concrete wall is a body that seems static yet constantly touched by rain, wind, heat and passing gazes. A poem is written in response to the context, and the poem is cast into concrete plates of 4mm thickness.
Concrete here, as a material body, cracked and broke under its own weight and changing conditions. Its linguistic body (a poem of passing and lingering) was thus continuously reshaped by material change. The windows became a place where the slow time of concrete encounter the fleeting time of the passer-by.
