Collapsing View: Spectacle Caterpillar Tower 景色の決壊 スペキュラー(スペクタクル・キャタピラー・タワー)/2014/Inkjet print and video 【Kouzushima】
渋谷の景色を決壊する外壁が現れる。
都市の地中から這い出た壮大な芋虫タワーは、人知れず地中に根を張り巡らせ景色を決壊していく。
タワーの電波を養分に、芋虫タワーは増殖し続け、新たな世界が蔓延る。
Collapsing View: Bug-deria Barrier 景色の決壊 バグデリア・バリア/2012/video 【Kouzushima】
渋谷の街で小さな透明な塊が格子状のドームと交差し、レンズ越しに見る景色に次々と絵が描かれる。
線が、景色の上でふたりと世界を繋いでいく。
雑踏の中で吹く笛が、会話の手段だ。
音と線が交錯し、レイヤーは幾重にも重なり続ける。
