Nishiuchi, who took the stage as an ambassador for this event, said that he started visiting museums, art fairs, galleries, etc. five or six years ago when he started traveling abroad more often, so he has always had art around him. This event was the first time he spoke publicly.

In “Playground Becomes Dark Slowly,” you can experience the works of three artists set in Hibiya Park. Light installation work (Gravity and Grace) by Shinji Ohmaki, visitor participation work (Hana no Hammock) by architect Yuko Nagayama, (Hana no Toro), Hibiya Park reconstructed by collecting sound by Mihiro Hosoi Nishiuchi, who enjoyed each of the works (Yohakushi), said, “It really stimulated my five senses, and there were many moments that could only be felt in a park where nature is a part of everyone’s daily life. I was very impressed by how many ways I could enjoy it.I want to continue to be involved with art,” he said of the appeal of parks and art.

This event was curated by Junya Yamamine, and was an art experience by three artists with the concept of “stimulating one’s imagination toward nature while feeling the changing light of the sun in the gaps of the urban park.” An event that provides.
During the day, there is a playground centered around Yuko Nagayama’s “Hana no Hammock”, at night Shinji Ohmaki’s “Gravity and Grace” emits light, and Mihiro Hosoi collects the sounds of Hibiya Park from a soundscape perspective.
