日下部民藝館の木組みの広い伝統建築が持つ空間には空想上の余裕がある．それが空間の持つ豊かさであると思う．その余裕の中から手が伸び足が伸びてくる．ひょっとしたらあなたの背中をさするかもしれないし，鮎を捏ねて宙に浮かべてしまうかもしれない．現代の「定在する遊牧民」の足は長く，手も長く，計算機の自然は空間と時間を交錯させ，あらゆるところにあらゆるものを変換し顕現させていくのかもしれない．その様子を木彫の設置とともにデジタル写真で切り取りプラチナプリントに封じ込めた．いつの時代に撮影されたか定かではない写真を眺めながら民藝館の風景に可能性を感じてほしい．
The spacious traditional wooden structure of the Kusakabe Folk Crafts Museum gives off an abstract sense of space.
Ochiai believes this sense is the richness of space.
Long arms and feet may stretch out from the large-scale room, and perhaps they will rub your back, or knead a sweetfish and let it float in the air.
The arms and feet of today's "stationary nomads" are long, and the digital nature may intersect space and time, transforming and manifesting everything everywhere.
These scenes, along with the installation of wood sculptures, have been digitally photographed and enclosed in platinum print.
One of the aims of this work is for visitors to see the possibilities within the scenery of the Kusakabe Folk Crafts Museum as they look at these photographs that are difficult to distinguish whether they were taken in modern times or the distant past.
