OBSERVATION CLOCK SHAPE
The light circling around the turret as if scanning it beautifully reveals the natural forms and shapes that have been nurtured along with the history of Sarushima. We collected fragments of the island, such as rocks that had fallen from the cliffs and driftwood that had washed ashore. Visitors can observe the delicate expressions of rocks that have been built up over time and the beauty of driftwood that has been smoothly carved by the rough waves. Visitors will also see the trees and branches that have grown strong over time on the turrets, and the light that illuminates them will reveal the hidden vibrancy of life.
砲台の周りをスキャンするように一周する光により、猿島の歴史と共に育まれてきた自然の姿、形を美しく浮かび上がらせる。崖からこぼれ落ちた岩石や、海岸に漂着した流木など、島の断片を採取。長い年月をかけて構築された岩石の繊細な表情や、荒波によって滑らかに削り取られた流木の造形美を観測する。時間をかけて砲台に力強く侵食して育った木や枝は、光が当たることで、秘められた生命の躍動を目にすることができる。
