The Story of the Takahashi Family
From 2013, I have been engaged in “The Story of the Takahashi Family” that is set in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture. In this project, I’ve been presenting works as a form of a running story in Sanyo Nichinichi newspaper, which is a local newspaper dated from the Meiji Era.
Artist Naho Yokoya started her project, "A Story about Takahashi Family" in 2013 and since then has conducted intense research into the historical background and stories connected to Takahashi House. She has attempted to rediscover and reconnect the fragmented memories and narratives of the family history through uncovering artifacts of everyday life left at Takahashi House. Her emotionally engaging examination of these artifacts including letters and notebooks is an ongoing work. In "Open Takahashi House", Yokoya will exhibit a selection artifacts and invites you to set foot in the house and narrative experiences of the family.
Takahashi House
Genyo Takahashi (a famous TV screenplay writer now living in Saitama) grew up and lived there until 1949 when he turned twenty years old. Genyo’s father was the owner of the house and the family lived there for 40 years. It had been empty for 30 years and was badly ruined when Yokoya first visited there. 高橋家にまつわる物語
2013年から、広島県尾道市で30年間空き家となっていた高橋家を舞台に「高橋家にまつわる物語」を手がけており、年１回の高橋家の公開と並行して、明治時代から続く尾道の新聞「山陽日日新聞」上で、連載中。他にもインスタレーション作品や高橋玄洋氏と共同制作したラジオドラマ等を発表
