“What does snow mean to the people living in Yasuzuka, and to us? Why do people live in heavy snowfall areas? How to understand the harshness and beauty of snow?”

Snow is always full of contradictions and complexities. This project will explore the possibility of coexistence between people and snow by approaching the true nature of snow through images created by video director Tomoko Mikanagi.

This project will also convert the pavilion into a snow storage by creating a large pile of snow using snow brought from the mountains of Italy, to develop new ways of using snow and research new technologies to apply to snow. The snow mountain is a collaboration with snow engineer Yoshiomi Ito, and the observation and analysis using a temperature and humidity meter is a collaboration with the Department of Environmental Science and Policy of the University of Milan.
