異雲書屋_山本尚志 Hisashi YAMAMOTO_恐龍與金字塔的滑梯Dinosaur and Pyramid Slide Game
Hisashi YAMAMOTO | Dinosaur and Pyramid Slide Game | Ink on Japanese paper | 69.5 × 135 cm | 2024

This is a game where a small dinosaur enters from the base of a structure, makes its way into a floating pyramid, and competes to see who can e scape the fastest down the slide.
The entrance at the base is an elevator a tool of the modern era. Yet above it awaits an ancient structure: the pyramid. Furthermore, the dinosaur is a creature that existed long before human civilization, making its parti cipation in such a game fundamentally impossible.
This fiction, which transcends time, space, and even the necessity of existence itself, is in fact a metaphor for the very act of human imagination and creation. By simply labeling something automatically d rawn as a "game," the entire scenario is made coherent. Perhaps humanity, too, is participating in some unknown “game” that unfolds across unpredictable dimensions of time and space.
