シリーズ完結になる作品です。
ここでは、社会に洗脳された人々が自らの命すらも会社に捧げてしまう物語です。
コインロッカーには死の世界へと誘う広告が大きく張り出されて、ドアの下からネクタイがはみ出したまま閉められています。
日本では1970年代、駅構内のコインロッカーに置き去りにされた赤ちゃん達の死が、コインロッカーベイビーして社会問題になっていました。たやすく親のエゴによって落とされてしまった命。20年後そこに自ら入って自殺してしまう状況が生まれてきているように思われます。この半年後に忌まわしい地下鉄サリン事件が起きました。
私の直感していた、弱い部分の人間の精神というものが悲しい形で現実化してしまいました。(宗教による洗脳が、死すらいとわない人々を造ってしまった)
しかし、自らがもう一度考える時問を割く、好機になったのではないだろか。
会場には展覧会のためにセメントが持ち込まれた。

This is the conclusion of the series, in which I tried
to tell a story of people who were brain-washed" by the society to
sacrifice themselves for the sake of their companies.
I brought coin-operated lockers into the exhibition space where the floor
was coated with raw cement. There was a huge advertisement on the surface
of the 1ockers alluring people to go to the world of death. You could
see neckties sticking out of the doors.
In the 1970's, a number of babies were found dead inside of the lockers
like this at the stations in Japan. They were called "coin(-operated)
Iocker babies" , being left behind by their self-centered parents.
This becanre a serious social problem then.
Twenty years later, it seems to me that the situation has been getting
more serious to the extent that even adults, under pressure of the society,
would commit suicide in the very same place as the abandoned babies.
In fact, the hotrifying nerve gas attack on the subways in Tokyo occurred
only six months after I held this exhibit. By brain-washing , the cult
turned its followers into a group of murderers who had no regard for life.
As a reslult, the weak side of human mind that I had been engaged in throughout
the series was revealed. It may be the time for us to reconsider our mind
and ourselves.
