With aims to raise consciousness on undergrounding power cable, Eiji Sumi has been inspired to examine objects that would add extra something and stimulate our consciousness. What about still life painting of power cables? What if there are power cables inside gallery? What is missing because of “Cable-Densen” power cables?
