Isomura’s works are sometimes regarded as Vernacular (native language). The society has been deeply segregated by religion, gender, race, language, and people’s attributes. Isomura visualizes the big issues according to various attributes and, for a moment, compresses down to the size of his own. In the process, the narrative of an extremely “personal Isomura” is used as an intermediary. That is viewed as a native language. The term “Vernacular” refers to the language used by minorities. However, it also implies the alienation of this exactly “incomprehensible” culture for non-speakers, a disconnected communication. This work is composed of human tooth marks and footprints of organisms of myriapod such as trilobite, with bumpy lumps of rocky soil. There has never been a time when human beings and trilobites lived together, not to mention the possibility of communication between the two. However, if we are to limit primitive actions to chewing and walking for both, there may not be any particular difference between them.
