PROJECT
SPACE SPACE
Immersive installation for Yokohama Triennale "FindAsia" special exhibition. Astronaut's perspective reveals borderless world, fostering international understanding.
WHY
To experience a world
without borders.
In 2014, tension began to run through Japan, China, South Korea, and North Korea, which continues to this day in 2019. Yokohama was selected as an East Asian Cultural City back in 2014, where a special exhibition “FindAsia” was a part of the Yokohama Triennale. We were selected as an invited artist for this exhibition to show how we can experience a world without borders.
HOW
Experience seeing the night view of
the Earth from 3000km above in space.
Many astronauts around the world have testified that their perception changed after seeing the Earth from outer space, feeling released from fixed ideas they previously had. For example, Japanese astronaut Mamoru Mouri famously said, “From the universe, I could not see the borderline from outer space.” Although it may not be easy to go to space, it may be possible to reproduce such experiences. Therefore, we decided to precisely reproduce the night view of the Earth from 3000km above the sky, using tens of thousands of LED lights.
