Senbon Torii is located on the grounds of Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine (Kyoto), an important cultural property of the country. There are countless torii gates arranged in a row, and it is an artificial structure and space with the function of passage. The torii gate serves as a sign and gate for entering the sanctuary.
Why did people join the gate?
This is an installation work focusing on the gates that form the Senbon Torii.
The viewer wears headphones and experiences. Inside the intangible film that defines the inside and outside of the gate, structures formed by countless laser beams are floating. The viewer can visually and aurally grasp the behavior of the structure from both inside and outside the structure. An intangible structure, such as a spirit floating in space, relentlessly confronts the viewer and envelops it.
