"Among all living things only human beings have a perception of death. Animals avoid death instinctively, but they do not have a sense of fear that originates from the power of imagination. Human beings can imagine death, their own deaths, and from the power of imagination fear and anxiety are born. The deaths of those around us threaten our existence. So we the threatened, we the survivors, must resolve this problem. We cannot live in a continual state of anxiety, so within the grave we must find a stable form to conceal ourselves, conceal the fear. The burial of the dead and the ceremonies that accompany it are like the artworks of a community, of a people. Anyone could make works like mine; they are just drawings of circles. Anyone can draw a perfect circle. Though on a superficial level there may be differences in the art of different individuals, if we dig deeper, at the bottom we find something in common. We can get to a point where we can identify that particular form, show it, and say, "This is my work," but it can also be your work. That's the kind of work I want to create. It is as though I am making the work because no one else is making it. Picasso's paintings could only have been created by Picasso. That is because his works display such distinct individuality. My works do not show individuality in the sense that Picasso's do. The act of making these works has something to do with complementing the sense of absence I referred to earlier. That is, they may originate from personal circumstances, but I'm not creating them because of my personal circumstances. The act of putting the collective desire of the community into concrete form happens to coincide with my personal desire. I am not interested in the formal aspects of a work. What I want to create is a place. We tend to think of places, or sites, as the undifferentiated areas that spread out around us, but when I say that I want to create a place, I mean one that is very dense. Every people, every community, has its own place, and it is from their common stories that its density is generated. When a place becomes dense, a vertical light appears on that spot. This may be a rather difficult concept, but it is the image I have." -Toshikatsu Endo
