Yutaka Kobayashi
NEWLY COMMISSIONED WORK
Solar Mining is an ecological installation that draws on the unique cultural heritage of the ‘Castlemaine Diggings’. Featuring solar ovens baking traditional recipes of culturally diverse local senior citizens, Solar Mining is a playful and interactive installation where visitors can engage directly with clean energy, discover the benefits of solar cooking and nurture their advocacy for climate change prevention.
Yutaka Kobayashi is a Japanese environmental artist on a 12-month residency with Mildura Palimpsest Biennale #10, 2015. He is also a visiting researcher at La Trobe University.
