Ogaki is the final destination of Basho Matsuo (1644 1694), the best known poet from Edo period , famous for establishing the style of "haiku". Ogaki is the destination of this poet's journey to accomplish his masterpiece "Oku-no Hosomichi", while for the artist, Ogaki was her starting point. Overlapping the two journeys, Basho who started from Edo (Tokyo) to Ogaki, and Takenaka who started from Ogaki to Tokyo, the artist has combined numerous material from the passage where the poet has stopped by, to create large installations for the exhibition.

ArtTank has worked together with the artist visualize various new ideas to make new kind of installations which the artist has never created before.

展示室3では竹中美幸が芭蕉の江戸から大垣への道のりをたどりながら、その道を光の線で再現するとともに道中の現在の風景をコラージュするインスタレーション。竹中にとっては逆に東京から故郷の大垣への道のりを辿る行程となります。道のりを歩く旅人の心臓の鼓動が低音が空間で響き、旅の道のりが赤い線として伸びてゆく。道のりが示されるとともに道程の資料が見えてくる音と光のインスタレーション。
