Tokyo based artist Hidemi Nishida built an environmental installation on the Lake Poroto in Hokkaido Japan.
Northern land Hokkaido is the main habitat of the indigenous people “Ainu” and the Lake Poroto has been a big village of them for long period.
The emerging chairs on the water silently imply an existence of a field where a human cannot really reach to.
It somehow visualizes such a distance between the invisible field and our ordinary field being a medium to connect them. And reminds us that our ordinary exists in the contrast with the long-distance view.
It throws a time to face the unseen world or landscape into today’s hasty time flow.
