“Trains carry people with stories, dreams, and hopes toward the future,” Asagi Maeda describes. This necklace is in the form of a train with nine cars with a driver at each end. Each compartment represents a different time of the day and scene. Growing up in Tokyo, Asagi had observed urban life through train windows since her early childhood. Intrigued by the idea that a town is collections of “boxes” containing memories and stories, such as houses, apartments, and office buildings, Asagi is inspired by the desire to detail ordinary events in miniature. Her work always includes a textual element describing the scene; here, the artist has engraved on the underside of the carriages, 6.00 (The first train), 8.00 (Rush hour), 10.00 (School trip), 12.00 (Gentle breeze), 14.00 (Sunshine), 16.00 (Kindness), 18.00 (Beautiful sunset), 20.00 (Emergency break), 22.00 (Night of a city), 24.00 (The last train), and 02.00 (The end of the day).
