The Shimose Art Museum is located in Otake City, Hiroshima Prefecture. This museum, designed by architect Shigeru Ban, is unique in the world in that its huge containers move as if sliding on rails, and the exhibition space of the artworks itself is variable.
In this work, prismatic filters are used to express this feature. The linear beauty of the architecture and the dynamism of the movement are sublimed into a fantastic landscape through light and reflection. The moment when stillness and movement, gravity and transparency, reality and illusion intersect is captured in a single photograph.
