I LOVE YOU

This location was in use as the fish market’s administration building until 1978, and the various objects you see around the room are all ones that have remained here since that time. Sado Island receives radio signals from Russia, the Korean Peninsula, and China. As a child growing up in Ryotsu, Yoshida would listen to—what was to him—the undecipherable foreign noise coming through the radio, and let his imagination run wild. The Morse code that beeps in conjunction with the blinking lights, and the sign language that can be seen on the flag through binoculars all spell out the words “I Love You.” This installation uses light and sound to signify the existence of a hidden, inexpressible, and richly layered world, and a form of communication that transcends time and distance.
