金属を使い、人が関わることで動く立体作品をてがける作家による新作は、自転車を素材にした巨大な車。大きな羽根で雪を吹き飛ばす「ロータリー除雪車」をモチーフに、賑やかな七和地区で豪雪に向き合う住民たちの団結力をイメージした、動く作品。来場者を含む人そのものが動力=エンジンとなる車が誕生する。
Crafted by an artist renowned for creating intricate, three-dimensional moving works that incorporate human interaction, this new creation is a colossal car constructed entirely from bicycles. Inspired by the design of the rotary snowplow, which utilizes large wings to clear snow, this moving artwork serves as a symbol of unity for the vibrant Nanawa community in the face of heavy snowfall. Powered solely by the efforts of its passengers, including both residents and visitors, this new snowplow goes around the town.
