Genetologic Research Nr. 18: 2004 A.D. Tajimi, Japan was made during a residency in an ancient ceramic workshop in Gifu prefecture, the old center of ceramic production in Japan. I learned to make traditional tea ceremony tea-cups and broke them after firing. The were displayed as contemporary archaeological founds. No one in Japan understood the value of a broken cup although on the antique market, next to my exhibition, single pieces of old ceramic cups were sold for huge sums. The present becomes the past in the future... 2004 A.D. Tajimi, Japan, 2004 Ceramic Parc Mino, Japan ceramics and papaer box 35 x 35 x 20 cm
