KARIYUSHI AQUQRIUM (2021)

Nature in Okinawa is full of different kinds of light. The sun's rays, which change their expression from morning to afternoon and evening, the glow of light shining into the water, the sparkle of reflected bubbles, the pale light emitted by creatures at night, and many other lights are all around us.
In this day and age, when our daily lives have changed so much, I wanted to express the message that we should look for and gaze at the light that gives us even the slightest bit of hope.
Based on the concept of the three "Ds" (Dynamic, Drastic, and Dramatic), we filmed the nature and light of Okinawa with bold swimming scenes of creatures using an underwater camera and powerful camera work with a drone camera.
Taking advantage of the characteristics of the screen surrounding visitors on three sides, we created a video work that visitors can enjoy as if flying in the sky, capturing the magnificent scenes from the fantastic sunrise to sunset seen from the Okinawan sea.

沖縄の自然の中に溢れるさまざまな光。朝・昼・夕方と表情を変える太陽の光、水中に差し込む光芒(こうぼう)や反射した泡のきらめく光、夜に生き物たちが発する淡い光など、私たちの身近なふとしたところに光はあり、日常生活が大きく変わった当世で、少しでも希望となる光を探して見つめていたいというメッセージを込めました。
Dynamic、Drastic、Dramatic、の3つの「D」をコンセプトに、水中カメラで生き物たちの大胆に泳ぐシーンや、ドローンカメラによる迫力あるカメラワークで沖縄の自然や光の撮影を行いました。
来場者の三方を取り囲むスクリーンの特性を活かし、沖縄の海から望む幻想的な朝日から夕日までの雄大な素晴らしい情景を、まるで空を飛んでいるかのように楽しめる映像作品を制作しました。
