収蔵庫の中の液浸標本に人文歴史資料と自然史資料の融合を見た．
自然史資料として保管されている標本の中にあるメモ書きやラベルが自然を切り取る作成者の痕跡を残している．それが融合されて液に沈んで永遠の時を彷徨っている．猫は猫であり，ヤシガニはヤシガニで，ヒトカイチュウはヒトカイチュウのまま，作成者も寄生先も朽ち果てたあとも残り続ける．種の保存が一箇所に並ぶ様は美しい死の祭壇だ．永遠の死をタイムカプセルにして並べた静的な祭壇を質量のない映像が動かしていく．
In the immersion specimens in the repository, I saw a fusion of humanistic-historical and nature-related archives. The notes and labels inside the specimens stored as natural history materials left traces of the creators who cut out nature. They are fused together and submerged in liquid, wandering through eternity. Cats are still cats, coconut crabs are still coconut crabs, and human caecilians are still human caecilians, and the creators and parasites continue to remain even after they have decayed. The way the preservation of species is lined up in one place is a beautiful altar of death. The static altar of eternal death, lined up as a time capsule, is moved by images without mass.
