The light through the window was recorded at time compressed to 1/120th during the season when the sun is at its lowest. The light went deep into the architecture, illuminating the shape of the space and the expression of the structure. I imagine the existence of the atmosphere and the infinite course of light through flickering variation. If time is defined as the movement of sunlight due to the rotation of the Earth, I can say that I’m observing “time” as well as space and light.

一年で最も太陽の高度が低くなる時期に、窓から射し込む光を1/120の時間に圧縮し記録した。建築内部に深く入り込んだ光は、空間の形状と構造物の表情を照らし出す。明滅の揺らぎに、大気の存在と光線の果てしない経路を想像する。「時間」を地球の自転による光の移動と考えるなら、この映像では空間や光と同時に「時間」を観察しているとも言えるだろう。
