In the video the artist in a safety helmet makes her own way to go out with a drill and a faint light comes into the inside she has a hope of escape. The artist, however, fails to escape from the cave. Instead, she plants a fig tree on the spot where the light falls. Her questions and answers emerge continuously on the screen. Why do you plant trees? This question is about her own artistic activities. The reply is in the same context: “The objective of my artistic activities is to see someone feel happiness while eating the fruit of fig trees after 100 years.”

In a corner of the venue where the third screen ends, there is a cave-like space. Exhibited here is a video installation demonstrating her performance in accordance with the spatial condition of Project Space Sarubia. While the scenes appeared in the three screens above mentioned look like a space station, the atmosphere emitted here seems to be an apparently down-to-earth space. The viewer wearing a safety helmet may appreciate her performance through the lenses of a telescope.
