The space is composed of four pieces: a square monolith called "Gandate," "Lightscape (Scenery - the origin of the world)," depicting only light in a black void, "Osaka," depicting a hollow in the rocks where Osaka Falls flow, and "Unknown," a sculpture that the artist created for the first time, as well as video works and lighting projected onto two paintings (Gandate and Osaka). The central structure of the installation is a square object which reminds a monolith = painting at the center. The Gandate Gorge in Gero City, Gifu Prefecture, depicted in the painting is a specific landscape that the artist did his own research on, but at the same time, it also resembles an unspecified landscape (on the earth, or on another planet).
He challenges the structure of an installation that sometimes all of these works disappear with being enveloped in darkness when they are linked together in the space, and sometimes they move independently with a time difference, as if performers were scattered in a small theater.
Gandate and Osaka are painted with natural mineral paints on a milky white base made by layering multiple layers of chalk which is made of crushed seashells on the rough surface of crumpled Japanese traditional paper “Washi”. The two paintings sometimes become screens that project other worlds, with flowing water, forests, and everyday landscapes that the artist has photographed daily being built-in the works as random double images. The work is interspersed with images of space, scenes from art history, and swirls of light that evoke the fetal movements. Also, sometimes the French poem by Jacques Prévert, "Le Paysage changeur" ​​(The Scenery Changer), is read aloud. While the poet, who was thoroughly anti-war and anti-authority, evokes skepticism towards capitalism, the poem expresses the relationship between humans and landscapes, which seem unrelated at first glance. By quoting this poem, it overlaps the landscapes far from the human world in paintings and videos, and then, the work raises multiple questions about the relationship between the human world and the landscape. The original title of this poem was "Le Paysage changera (The scenery will change)", but due to an fallacy of the printing company, it became "Le Paysage changeur (The scenery changer)", and the poet adopted it. However, here, the original "Le Paysage changera" is used as the title of the video.
The sculptures are made by scanning the random shapes of crumpled Washi, then retouching the shapes on a computer before enlarging and printing them on a 3D printer. The artist applied the same natural mineral paints "tourmaline" used in GANDATE onto the indigo blue translucent resin three dimensional object. The sculpture, looking chaotic at first glance, resembles a meteorite from space, or perhaps the trace of an artificial object excavated tens of thousands of years later, emerging from natural soil.
The paintings, video installations, and sculptures, which evoke a flow of time beyond the human scale, reminds us of the instability of our existence throughout the space, while at the same time making us imagine the fluid relationship between humans and non-humans, prompting each viewer to imagine the transience of life as well as the world to come.
