作品について
高知県 五台山竹林寺の開創1300年を記念して開催された音と光のインスタレーション「星音夜」にて、境内全体の芸術監修を手がける音響空間アーティスト及川潤耶氏のもと、WOWは映像演出を担当。山門から参道にかけての寺内の自然と景観を活かし、光と映像で空間を彩った。

映像演出「光脈 —Light Vein—」
五台山を囲む豊かな水脈と、起伏に富み竹林と苔の濃緑に包まれる竹林寺の植生が織りなす生態系は、境内の幽玄な空気感を生み出している。その中で立ち上る幻想的な心象風景が、夜の帳が下りると共に光の姿で顕現するという及川氏の構想を、「光脈」というコンセプトのもと表現した。

生命の根源的な姿を光の粒や泡として見立て、それらが木の根や岩の隙間といった自然に点在するミクロな「祠」より生まれ、漂い、互いに共鳴し合って脈を描いては消えてゆく。時には境内へ訪れた人を迎え入れ本堂に導くかのように、人の歩みに呼応する。この地に元来宿っていたような光の振る舞いとイメージを辿り、境内の自然と溶け合うことで生まれた景色は、絶えず流転する生命の脈動を描くと同時に、そこに住まう生命の灯火を紡ぐ。

竹林寺で1300年の間、連綿と紡がれてきた生命の営みと仏の教えが、精神を研ぎ澄ませて佇むことで浮かび上がる空間を演出した。


About the Project
WOW participated in the image direction for HOSHIOTOYA, an installation of sound and light at Godaisan Chikurinji Temple in Kochi Prefecture that was celebrating the 1,300th year of its establishment. The overall event throughout the temple precincts was directed by world-renowned sound artist Junya Oikawa. WOW created a space from the entrance gate and along the main approach route to the temple that featured light and images utilizing the natural and scenic beauty of the temple.

Image Direction: Light Vein
The ecosystem of Chikurinji Temple, comprising the copious veins of water that envelop Mt. Godai and rugged and undulating green bamboo groves and densely succulent moss, together create an ethereal atmosphere in the temple precincts. The concept of “light vein” was based on Oikawa’s idea that the fantastical mental landscape that emerges in the midst of such a location would manifest itself in the form of light as night falls.

Life’s fundamental forms are visualized as particles of light and bubbles that are born from a scattering of microscopic “temples” witnessed throughout nature, such as tree roots and crevices in rocks. It is these that drift, then resonate with each other, coming together in veins of light before disappearing. At times, these veins seem to be responding to the steps of people, as if welcoming visitors to the temple precincts and leading them up to the main hall. The scene created by tracing the behavior and image of light that originally inhabited this place and blending it with the verdant nature of the temple precincts is expressed as pulsating life in constant flux, while also interweaving the light of the life that resides there.

WOW created a space where the workings of everyday life and the teachings of Buddhism, which have been woven together uninterrupted for 1,300 years at Chikurinji Temple, emerge as you stand contemplatively for a moment with a sharply focused mind.
