Caption: "AFTERNOONS. Gogo." Former mayor of Ouchiyama feeding carp in a pond. He says that everyone in the village is interested in Goldsworthy’s work because he creates it "from nature in a mystical way in the abstract form", and it’s in keeping with people’s interest in protecting the natural environment.

Says that Goldsworthy works with the land and against the elements of the weather, like farmers do. Trees in wind. Goldsworthy VO talking about red stalks of sycamore leaves brought down by the wind. He’s using these stems to create a red line drawing in the green grass. Wants the wind to blow through it. Wind blowing in Japanese trees. Japanese hillside; field worker.
