This is a documentary on a collaborative art project in which sketched
cut-out sheep suddenly appear in the middle of cities and fields.
The moment the camera captures them, the sheep become three dimensional.
The expression of these images carries the energy, bewilderment and
the amusement of the people on the scene that goes far beyond the
mere collaborative documentation of a spatial art installation. -
Masuya Shuichi
Director's
Statement
This is a documentary based on active modern artist, Inoue Shinta's
"Project of Shepherd." This project which calls attention
to "shepherds" who migrate at will without regard for borders,
uses guerrilla tactics to erode public space. Inoue's installation
is an uncommonly powerful two-dimensional work of art. This collaborative
art documentary is made possible because Inoue is conscious of the
production process that induces communication between people.
