Noor Riyadh Festival 2022

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.

素粒子という最も小さな物質がある。あるものは集合して世界を形作り、あるものは宇宙の果てから来て私たちの身体を通り抜ける。肉眼では捉えられないこれらの粒子が何をもたらすのかはまだ知られていないことも多く、一見個々に離れた物質や人の心にまで何らかの影響を及ぼしているという見方もある。
今回の作品は、この不思議な存在に思いを馳せながら「もし我々の身体や心に素粒子たちが影響を及ぼしているとしたら、物質である建物にも何らかの作用が働いているはずだ」という思考のもと作られた。
宇宙空間から放たれた素粒子が我々を通り抜け、その影響が世界に広がっていく。遠く離れているように感じる宇宙は、思ったより目の前の世界と近く繋がっているのかもしれない。

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.
