About participating in the Intervals Festival held in Nizhniy Novgorod
24.08.22
Art can get to our hearts, and enrich our feelings, and as such it will bring light and invoke hope and confer peace upon us. After contemplating a lot over our participation with our team members and the host organizers, we have come to realize it is meaningful to take part in.
Our artwork called projection mapping is created by projecting light against an object and giving it various expressions to the world, thus it can convey its creator’s hopes and feelings to the spectators.
“Light Turns Into Hope” is the concept and the title of our artwork this time. And we do hope that in this festival and through this festival people can experience and visualize what connects people with people and substantiates peace among us.

Leaps and bounds music festival 2022
In July, 2022, we exhibited “Rhythm And Line” at Richmond Town Hall in Melbourne, Australia, the second time around following Weimar,
Germany.
We restructured it as “Rhythm And Line Act 2” to narrate the lines of Richmond Town Hall. We were very happy to be given the opportunity to show it again at a different venue since “Rhythm And Line” is one of our favorite artworks. We would like to express our hearty thanks to those staff of “Leaps and Bounds Music Festival 2022” and the members of the team who gave us hands to finalize this artwork.

22年の7月にオーストラリアのメルボルンのRichmond Town Hallにてドイツのワイマールに次ぐ2回目となる”Rhythm And Line”を公開していました。
“Rhythm And Line”は Richmond Town Hallの形状に合わせて完全に再構築しました。”Rhythm And Line”は我々にとってもお気に入りの作品の一つなので、こうして別の場所で再演できる機会をいただけた事は大変うれしい限りです。Leaps and bounds music festival 2022 のスタッフ、そして制作に携わっていただいたチームの皆さんのサポートがあってやっと作品の完成ができました。心から感謝しています。

Constellations de Metz 2022
I began to remote-work often at home just like many others after the diffusion of Covid 19. At first, I felt at ease and liberated, but with the passage of time, it began to tell on my body, and lastly I got in the blues.
“One day I flew out of my house and boogied on to the beach. There lay indescribable beauty spreading in crisp breeze as far as the eye could see,” said one of our team members. Every one of us could share the visceral longing with him.
Our artwork this time, “NATURE”, was created based on this primal power to move us to nature. Nature can rock our five senses to their foundations even in our fast-moving IT world, and this can tell us there is still a tangible sanctuary in the midst of it.
We would like to make our few minutes’ artwork be the story of describing the moving encounter with nature. The beginning is cast with a gloomy pall, the time we are hemmed in, and then the subsequent dialogue with nature is expanded. We used the natural sound picked up from nature, while reducing the digital sound to a minimum.
Our stage, La cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Metz, has the greatest amount of stained glass in France. It invites natural light and harmonizes effortlessly with the surroundings. We hope our artwork will jibe with the cathedral as if it is part of nature.

新型コロナウィルスが蔓延して以降、多くの人がそうであるように私も家で仕事をすることが増えた。最初は快適に思われたが、時間が経つにつれて身体に不調が表れはじめ、精神的にも塞ぎ込むようになっていった。私はある日家を飛び出して海岸に向かった。そこは信じられないくらい美しい景色で風は澄んでいた。
これは我々のチームの一人の体験だが、誰もが彼の感動を身近に感じた。
今回の作品”NATURE”は、このような自然への原始的な感動に基づいて制作されている。自然はデジタル化が進む現代に生きる人間の五感を揺さぶり、理想郷がまさにその中にあることを教えてくれる。我々はこの数分間の作品を、自然に出会う感動を描いた物語にする。始まりは暗く、閉鎖的な時間を描き、その後に自然との対話を描く。音楽には自然の音を取り入れ、極力デジタルを使わない表現にする。
舞台となるメッス サンテチエンヌ大聖堂はフランスで最も多くのステンドグラスを持ち、それらは自然の光を取り込み美しく調和している。我々の作品もまた自然の一部であるかのように、この大聖堂と調和するものでありたい。
