PRISM at SENSE ISLAND
Sense Island - Island of the Senses" was held on Sarushima, an island of art in the dark, where the interactive installation art "prism" was exhibited. Looking back on its history, Sarushima was an island of the former Japanese army, and was an important military base to protect Tokyo Bay from enemy invasion. For the installation, I laid out prisms on the beach based on the outline of Sarushima and the site of the former gun battery. The prisms emit a beautiful light when illuminated by a light like a lighthouse. Visitors sat on the sand, manipulated the light, and stroked the beach as they wished, causing countless chains of light to cover the beach. As the light caresses the hearts of the people watching, it fleetingly catches up with them and disappears, illuminating their hearts. With the night view of Yokosuka on the other side of the river in the distance, this work brings up the memories engraved on Sarushima with beautiful light.
猿島で行われたSense Island -感覚の島- 暗闇の美術島に“体験型のインスタレーションアート”prism”を展示。歴史を振り返ると猿島は旧日本軍の島であり、砲台を設け、東京湾を敵の侵入から守るための重要な軍事拠点であった。インスタレーションでは、猿島の外形と旧砲台跡地を元に浜辺にプリズムを敷き詰めた。プリズムは灯台のような光に照らされることで美しい光を放つ。来場者は砂の上に腰掛け、光を操り、おもいおもいに砂浜を撫でることで無数の連鎖した光が砂浜を覆い尽くす。光は見ている人の心も撫でる様に、儚くついては消え、人々の心を照らす。遠くに見える対岸の横須賀の夜景共に、猿島に刻まれた記憶を美しい光によって浮かび上がらせる作品。
