The Japanese artist Hideami Nishida, the founder of the studio of the same name, installed the installation “Fragile Chairs” on Lake Poroto (Hokkaido Island), which creates a surrealistic impression that simple wooden chairs are randomly arranged on the surface of the water. Installation – the continuation of the cycle of works “fragile”, whose goal is to use nature and the landscape as a background for artistic statements.
This region of Hokkaido is inhabited by the descendants of the ancient Ainu people, and for many locals, a lake is a sacred place. By his installation, the author sought to emphasize the natural beauty of the landscape, as well as create an illusory image of a sacred space, a place unattainable by mere mortals. The work is presented in the framework of the artistic festival Tobui.
