Parallel World

Ichibacho/Inohana area
This project is an installation themed “Daily Bugs” based on visual experience. At Kencho-Mae station, a terminal station of Chiba Urban Monorail, there is an unused platform – because the extension of the station was given up during the peak period due to various problems. Assuming that empty space like this is a place which exists in parallel with the real world, she will restructure it in the form of an installation. Viewers will find the “real-world defects” hidden in space where they don’t usually see, and are given an opportunity to question their own perception of urban areas. The work creates a world where people are waiting for monorail which is not supposed to come on the unused platform. These people are real citizens recruited beforehand and we will shoot images of them actually standing on the platform. Making humans that exist in the real world a motif would be a trigger to imply another world border – a parallel world. The work gives viewers a trick of eliminating the existence of humans from a certain angle using the structure of lenticular panels which changes images by angle. It provides a new light on the socially impractical architectural space and the issue of urban decay caused by the existence of intact space. This project aims to reconnect urban areas and memories by giving users and visitors of the place an extraordinary experience mixed in daily life.
