Parachute Woman

Saw-Blade Rooftop Factory in Kiryu City

A new version of Parachute Woman was adapted to the space of the Saw-Blade Rooftop Factory in Kiryu City where the modern textile industry prospered in the early twentieth century. Referring to the history of parachutes being manufactured in this factory during the previous war, the parachute woman enters the rustic space of the former factory and engages in historic labor, sewing history and the present together.
