Breathing Studios 呼吸するスタジオ
I make buildings breathe. In earlier works, such as Breathing Sui-gun Line and Breathing Clocktower, I connected architecture with the breathing rhythms of the people who live nearby. Buildings pulsed with light, blinking in sync with human breath, as if reanimated by the life around them.Here, in the studios of the Florence Trust, I turn…

Archaeology or imagination(WIP)考古学か想像か (習作)
A Generative Study of Sculptural Perception This study began from a question about how we look at historical sculptures today.

However, centuries later, most viewers no longer know who these people were. Their identities…

Borrowed scenery: Yoyogi park station 借景:代々木公園駅
One night exhibition at a gallery nearby Yoyogi park. I interviewed the owner of the gallery and he said ‘I kind hate that bright sign of the subway station’. Then I think that I give him a dream of grabbing the bright signs on his hands. 代々木公園駅近くのギャラリーでの一晩だけの展示。ギャラリーのオーナーに話をすると、「目の前の地下鉄入口の看板照明が明るすぎる」という。私は、彼に一晩だけこの看板照明を手のひらの上で自由にする夢を与えようと思った。

Breathing Sui-gun line 呼吸する水郡線
Light works along with rural train line. It is easy to find pitch black darkness during nights on this small town in mountainside of Ibaraki.
