Artist in residency has time limits for artists to explore and to create new work. During the time of an artist in residency in Paris, As metaphor of this circumstances Shusuke used a historical photograph “Boulevard du Temple” which was taken by French Photographer Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre. This photograph is known as a first photograph which could be captured an image of a human. One of busiest street in Paris, due to the duration of exposure time, only a shoe cleaner and its customer could appear in photograph. Shusuke asked street performer to do living statue at the same place where shoe cleaner and its customer were standing in the photograph, to memories the people who went through with passing, including Shusuke documenting this reenactment.
Since I arrived in Paris at begging of October, the days went so fast, to discover things, to see things, to meet friends, etc. For me two months of time flies just like a moment. May be because of this feeling , I had some empathy with people who didn’t appear on the photograph of Boulevard du Temple. For me, the time of Paris I was thinking a lot the way of preserving a moment perfectly through memorizing and documenting. And always I had feeling that I failed to do it.

ダゲールが撮影した「タンプル大通り」は、人が撮影された最初の写真として知られている。昔の写真撮影は露光時間が長く、パリで最もにぎやかな通りだったにも関わらず、撮影中に動かなかった靴磨きとその顧客のみしか写されなかった。
パリにあるアーティストレジデンスで制作された本作では、「タンプル大通り」が撮影されたその場所で大道芸人に、靴磨きとその顧客に扮 した生きた彫像になってもらい、西松をはじめ、通り過ぎていった人たちを記憶してもらった。限られた時間での創作活動という状況と写真史を基にした、一瞬という時間の記憶と記録にまつわる映像インスタレーション。
