庭｜Garden

フランスの庭師・思想家ジル・クレマンは『動いている庭』において「できるだけあわせて、なるべく逆らわない」と語り、外来種や偶発的な変化を排除せず、むしろ受け入れながら共存していく“生きた庭”の可能性を説きました。そこにあるのは、完璧な管理や静的な秩序ではなく、混ざり合い、動き続ける生命の力です。
 本年、T3は都市空間をそうした「生きた庭」へと変換できないか試みます。人間によって設計された、最も象徴的な人工の秩序である「都市」。そこに、異物のように差し込まれる写真作品や展示の数々は、外来種のように空間と混ざり、拡張し、都市における「庭」をかたちづくっていきます。銀座から京橋、八重洲、日本橋に点在する「庭」が、訪れる人々との偶発的な出会いや交わりを生み出す事で、都市の新たな可能性を見出すことができるとしたら。東京が、内に秘めるまだ見ぬ風景をT3は写真によって生み出していきます。
 French gardener Gilles Clement writes in The Garden in Movement that one should "adapt as much as possible and resist as little as possible." He presents the ever-changing nature of the living garden that embraces non-native species and accidental changes to coexist with them. This year, T3 draws inspiration from his philosophy to explore the possibilities of the garden as a metaphor for cities that tend to seek uniformity.

There are countless spaces in cities—offices, open public spaces, walls surrounding construction sites—that, unlike exhibition halls, are not designed for viewing art. These are spaces where the curator plants artworks, just as the gardener plants seeds. Similar to Japanese and Western gardens whose formation is rooted in different cultural philosophies, the diverse gardens that emerge within cities are entirely different expressions of local communities and human interactions.

The 15 Gardens created in Ginza, Kyobashi, Yaesu, and Nihonbashi welcome visitors as exhibitions and interact with each other to produce unexpected discoveries. The walk from one Garden to another awakens new sensations and questions, offering each visitor a rich experience to cultivate within themselves.
