Expose Yourself To Your Deepest Fear; After That, Fear Has No Power, And The Fear Of Freedom Shrinks

Oiwa Island 2 Oscar Oiwa

Expanding on his work previously created for the 2013 Triennale and housed within a gymnasium on Ibuki Island, “Oiwa Island 2” will be installed within a building once used as a soy sauce warehouse. The audience will be allowed to walk inside the work of art: essentially a massive, 360-degree drawing made with black permanent marker on a 40-ft diameter inflatable vinyl dome. It’s located on Shodoshima.

New sections were added to the drawing, which will depict sky, forest and a small cottage on the sea shore. At this point we can only imagine the odd sensation of arriving on an island, walking into a soy sauce factory (which leads to the door of the cottage) and then suddenly being immersed in a black and white island.

Client: Hi, I know your helpdesk shift ends at 6 PM but the CEO is having a meeting at 9 PM because of time difference, and we need your help.  

Me: Sorry, but unfortunately we are only able to assist during work hours.

Client: Well, it’s urgent and this is a huge meeting with all the executives. You need to make a plan to assist him.

Me: What assistance is required anyway?

Client: Well, we’ve got all the details but we just need someone to physically dial the number on the phone.

Me: I don’t understand. It’s a normal telephone, right? Can’t the CEO just dial the number? I don’t understand why assistance is required.

Client: No, someone needs to be there to dial for him. He doesn’t dial.

I did what any sane person would do in this situation: whipped up a handy document called “HOW TO DIAL A TELEPHONE” and left work at 6 PM.
