If you encounter other people within the artwork, your space will connect with theirs and become one single space. Because of this, people are able to freely wander around the flower mass space. This floating flower garden consists of a three-dimensional mass of flowers.The artwork space is completely filled with flowers, but as the flowers float up above people, open spaces are created. Since the sphere colors are produced by light, it is possible to create nine blurred colors, (light in water, sunlight on water plants, morning glow, morning sky, sky at twilight, peach, plum, iris, spring maple), as well as three colors that flatten the space (blue, red, and green), producing a total of twelve colors.įloating Flower Garden: Flowers and I are of the Same Root, the Garden and I are One The colors were the result of a combination of front and back colors, (silk at the time was so thin that the liner was transparent, creating complex colors), overlapping color gradations, complex weave colors, and combinations of warp and weft. Depending on the degree of entanglement of the spheres, and wind and pressure changes, the shape of the space itself will change, empty spaces becoming high density, and spheres rising to the ceiling all at once.īefore the modern era in Japan, Kasane no Irome were seasonal colors created in silk. The shape of the space is determined by the collection of floating spheres and changes according to people’s actions (pushing or colliding). Since each sphere is free floating within the collection of sphere elements that make up the three-dimensional space, people recognize it as existing three-dimensionally and part the spheres entering into the three-dimensional existing space. At this time, the light spreads spherically around the impacted sphere. Therefore, the light behaves as a group and can be thought of as one three-dimensional existing space. The spheres around that sphere change color tone and in turn resonate out the color in three-dimensions to nearby spheres.Įven if each sphere moves freely on its own, the behavior of light is maintained across the whole of the space (a three-dimensional image in which one sphere is regarded as one dot). When people move through or strike them, the spheres change color, and that color resonates out. When the spheres change color, the space itself shifts between a collection of spheres forming a three-dimensional space and a flat color wall. People move through the spheres and enter the space. The space is filled with spheres of free floating light. *Due to helium shortage, the flotation of spheres has been suspended.
