ベルリナーズ犬糞ゴルフ
Berliners' dog poop golf

 

 

ベルリンに滞在した際に、路上の至るところで犬の糞を目にした。私にとってその光景は単純に不快であったことから、糞の問題を改善するための活動を考案しようと思い立った。
まず私はフィールドワークを通して、犬の糞の分布地図を作ることから始めた。そして、糞から別の糞へと移動させるというゲームの実現性を検証するに至った。糞が多い場所では糞同士を繋げるスピードは速くなり、少ない場所や複雑な地形ではプレイの難易度は高くなった。例えば五回糞を繋ぐためにかかる時間の計測や、決めた時間内で糞を繋ぐ回数を確かめる実験などを、道具の改良を行いながら様々な場所で行い、区画ごとの難易度や特徴を分類した。これを通して、街の特徴的な問題の一つから、ベルリン独自のスポーツが生まれる可能性を探った。

 

 

When I stayed in Berlin, I saw dog poops that were not cleaned up everywhere on the streets. This was just so disagreeable for me that I got an idea of making an activity for dog walkers to improve that situation.
First I tried to build a dog-poop-map to see how and where dog poops remained. Then I focused on golf and put these into practice; that was, to hit dog poops to next ones by using various cleaning tools shaped like a golf club, and to repeat this until a goal. In an area where there is a lot of dog poops, one can quickly connect them with other ones. If that was not the case, the difficulty of connecting them each other would be higher because one has to bring them long distance. Based on the dog-poop-map, I practiced in different places to see, for instance, how much time it took to connect them each other five times or how many poops I could connect within an hour, and thereby improved appropriate tools for certain situations. Through that, I aimed at making a new endemic sport which could make local people recognize the necessity of continuing to voluntarily face the problem with dog poops.
