A strange vehicle appears in the children’s park overlooking the sea. It’s a lunar rover made from wood siding, Noto tiles, and other scrap wood materials from Suzu’s empty houses. A strange feeling comes from seeing discarded rusty things and an ultra-modern form co-exist. This co-existence expresses the artist’s concept that the future lies in the past. Animation depicting the moon and a rabbit, common to ancient Asia and Central American myths, will be shown inside the vehicle.
