We created an installation for the design event Tokyo Midtown Design Touch 2019, hosted by Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi, Tokyo. Taking the concept of soaking in colors, we covered Midtown Garden with colorful mesh (2.5 m by 2 km in length) to form a colorful 80-meter-long canyon. Midtown Garden resembles mountain peaks, forests, and lawn, and the sheer fabrics blend in with the flowing landscape. Wind touches the mesh and natural landscape peeks between the movement of the fabric. This canyon consists of two colors, red and blue, representing arteries and veins flowing through the bodies of the people who visit the site. They experience the feeling of being wrapped in color. We have always been familiar with Midtown Garden but once we visited to observe, we again realized that this place attracts a wide range of people who spend their time in comfort. We overlapped the idea of a never-ending stream of people on the site with the changing grand scenery of mountains and oceans.
