Shinano-Omachi Tangible Landscape

This work, created by the creative team ’mé’ at the first iteration of the festival in 2017, was designed to be a device on top of Takagariyama to view the landscape of Shinano Omachi and the magnificent mountain range of the Northern Alps. Visitors are invited to follow extended lines that ignore the existing layout of rooms and levels of the building. As you walk to upstairs and move forward through unstable white space, walking over beams and hiding under the ceiling, you can experience the strange experience of losing your sense of balance. As you walk through the white curvy space, the panoramic view of the Northern Alps and the city of Omachi suddenly spreads out in front of you.
