Artwork Number :: A11

Title :: From me to you. I will send you this color light.

Year of Production :: 2021

“Who do you want to meet right now?” “Why don’t you send your thoughts to that person in the form of color?” Based on these questions he asked particularly in Ishinomaki in July 2021, Kyota Takahashi illuminates the Ishinomori Manga Museum with the colors people requested. The colors change every day and the personal story behind each color is featured daily in local newspapers and on the radio and read by a local actor at a recital. Illuminated by the light that carries someone’s feeling to a person who is important to them, the building in the Nakase area transforms from a familiar museum to a device that conveys feelings.
