The 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku
We took charge of creating an artwork for Vision in the main lounge of “the 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku”.
This artwork came into being as the self-inspired one out of the artwork presented at Genius Loci in 2021. The work, “Rhythm And Line,” in 2021 was the one projection-mapped to Franz Liszt’s residence out of respect for this great Magician of Piano. Just as Liszt fanned a fresh breeze into the then world of music, our work this time is the updated “Rhythm and Line” dedicated to Sakamoto Ryuichi, who was also the musician that stirred up a fresh wind in the modern music world.
In 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku, there is provided a lounge special use for viewers an hour before the movie begins. Its design theme is TIMELESS MODERN to let you enjoy that “moment” and that “sound.” In the comfortably subdued atmosphere, the 9th and 10th floors will provide you with spacious room studded with intriguing items and impressive artworks invoking the hue of the town of Kabuki-cho in Shinjuku. The picture content of the Vision in the center of the main lounge will immerse you in the felicity to let you flow in the unhurried time and a fondness for sound, and it was selected as well as to harmonize with the music in the main lounge, “109 Shinjuku-Lounge,” which was composed by Sakamoto Ryuichi ( with the co-composer, Marcus Fisher ).

「１０９シネマズプレミアム新宿」メインラウンジ内・ビジョンのアート作品を制作しました。
この作品は、2021年にワイマールで行われたイベントGenuis Lociで発表した作品に自らインスパイアされたものです。
2021年に発表した”Rhythm And Line”は「ピアノの魔術師」といわれ、当時の音楽界に新風を吹き込んだ
フランツ・リストに敬意を表し、ランダムな表現を取り入れたプロジェクションマッピング作品です。
今回は現代音楽に新風を吹き込んだ音楽家として活躍された、坂本龍一氏のためにアップデートしたものになっています。
１０９シネマズプレミアム新宿には、映画上映前に利用できる鑑賞者専用ラウンジがあります。
“TIMELESS MODERN”をテーマに、落ち着いたトーンの中に新宿・歌舞伎町の街の色を感じさせるような
印象的なアイテムやアート作品がちりばめられた空間です。
そんな穏やかな時間が流れるラウンジの中心にあるビジョンの映像コンテンツとして、
また坂本龍一氏が手掛けたラウンジのための楽曲（「109 Shinjuku – Lounge」 *マーカス・フィッシャー氏との共作）
とも調和するものとして、制作した作品となっています。

Our artwork this time focuses on “Pause.” Aren’t we passing up many substantial ideas and beautiful things in our busy daily life in too swiftly sweeping societies?
We need to pause to take a good look at ourselves, and then to observe our object face to face, slowly, giving it sufficient time. Maybe we will notice what we have passed by and a noticeable experience we have passed over inadvertently. If you can pause and find this kind of slowly flowing time, it will nurture your inner vision to generate a new idea and to have enough courage to delve into a new experience. This is what we believe.
The theme of this artwork is the question addressed to all of us, “Can you now PAUSE?”
///////////////////////
今回の作品は「止まる」ということに焦点を当てている。
私達は日々忙しい中で、間違いなく、本当に存在する新しいアイデアや、美しいものを
この早すぎる現代社会において多く見逃しているのではないだろうか？
私達は一度立ち止まり、自分を見つめなおし、
そして、ゆっくり時間をかけて対象物と向き合う必要がある。
もしかしたら今まで見過ごしていた事や物、体験に気付くかもしれない。
その時間を作ればきっとあなたにもいい結果となるはずだ。
私たちはそう信じている。
この作品のテーマは明瞭で『あなたは今、立ち止まれているだろうか？』と問いかける作品である。

There is the tiniest thing in the universe called a fundamental particle. Some of them assemble together and form a world and some flew from the fathomless part of the universe and travel through our bodies. Even though we have not known much about how these invisible particles precisely work and what they bring to us, some think they have some effective power on things and even on human mind.
Thinking of their miraculous existence, we made this artwork in mind that if these particles can exert their power on our mind and body, then they must have some effective power on architecture since they are material as well. The particles shot from space pierce through us and the effect spreads throughout the world. And the seemingly far-away space must be linked with the world spreading in front of our eyes.
