“IMMERSIVE GATE” is a massive gate-shaped installation measuring 2 meters high and 8 meters deep, designed to greet visitors with light and video. The entire structure functioned as an LED display, showcasing ambient logo animations and dynamic 3D CGI visuals synchronized with music, creating an immersive experience akin to entering another world.

A project that has been ongoing since September 2020. A video is made every day. All of the “one day, one shot” images are based on the motif of fire. The aim is to create a continuity like a campfire—finite, yet somehow evoking infinity. These daily videos (fires) from January 1 to December 31, 2024, have been compiled here. At the same time, each video is given the name of a specific station. As if traveling, a fire is lit at each stop on a local train line. All of those station names are listed here. A station name contains memories and histories that differ from latitude and longitude or from municipal boundaries. If a station disappears or falls out of use, these videos (fires) may remember the memories left behind by the public.

Inspired by Nedu, Hino Town, where the sound of water fills the town. An installation work in which overlapping streams of water envelop the space. At Tokinoma, an immersive gallery in Hino Town, Tottori Prefecture, housed in a repurposed former school, we held the special exhibition “A Classroom Where the City and Satoyama Intersect.” As one of the screening works in the exhibition above, this piece focuses on “satoyama,” and abstractly expresses both its beauty and the issues present in the region.

“2025 Osaka–Kansai Expo Bid Plan” Mori Art Museum Exhibition In 2025, the proposed site plan for the Osaka–Kansai Expo bid activity centers on keywords such as “decentralization” and “dispersal” to embody a future society, expressing the constantly changing relationships among diverse individuals and groups that are unique to our time. At the same time, it is also a model for a next-generation urban structure, designed to accommodate the operation of new urban elements such as autonomous mobility, including self-driving vehicles, and AR/MR (augmented reality/mixed reality). In this exhibition, the various new initiatives and characteristics incorporated into the plan are reconfigured as one possible form of the future city. In the cities of the future, diverse users interact in complex and dispersed ways within digital space. There is the “physical world,” which we perceive as objects, and the “information world,” represented by the web, as well as a “common ground” that serves as the intermediary realm between them. This exhibition expresses the social implementation of common ground. Visitors can experience the perceptual gaps between humans and digital agents, as well as our relationship with a world on an urban scale that cannot be perceived by humans.
