あなたはそこでなんて言ったの?

by Shun Ikezoe

On March 28, 2020, the Governor of Tokyo told us to, "Refrain from going out unnecessarily," and I had to cancel a scheduled shoot. The next day, snow fell unseasonably and within a few days there was no trace of it. Two years ago, my mother went into a deep slumber and has not yet woken up from her dreams. The Chinese man across the street is dreaming and shouting again tonight. My apartment became the center of my universe and I fought more with my girlfriend who lives with me. I rolled my camera and listened to the sounds around me. I heard the words that came from the faraway you and the nearby you. What is it that you said?


2020年3月28日「不要不急の外出を控えて」と都知事は言い、予定していた撮影は中止になった。その翌日季節外れの雪は降り、数日で跡形もなくなった。2年前に眠りについた母はまだ夢から覚めることはない。隣の中国人は今夜も夢を見て叫んでいる。部屋が宇宙の中心となり、一緒に住んでいる彼女とは喧嘩が増えた。わたしはカメラをまわして聞こえてくる音に耳をすませた。遠いあなたと、近いあなたが発した言葉。あなたはそこでなんて言ったの
