We, the members of Social Art, have been making rice husk charcoal in the rice paddies after harvesting in order to return the charcoal to the earth and use it for agriculture. Last year, we set off Signal Fire as a breath of the earth in Japan and on the West Coast of the United States. Art of the Fields The basis of our activities lies in the natural principles of cyclical regeneration, focusing especially on how to create fertile land in order to return art to its agricultural beginnings and to regain a form of daily life full of creativity. This is because we believe that we need to change course to regain the aims we have lost sight of.
