AMABIKI VILLAGE AND SCULPTURE

The silence to transfer

Steel, Wirerope, Winch, Urethane

Tranquility requires wilderness. The world was born out of tranquility, and the past, present and future coexist as a single entity. When an elevator comes to a momentary stop, tranquility exists there.

THE FIFTH AMABIKI VILLAGE AND SCULPTURE / TAKADA Satoru

A CRESCENT

Iron, Lava, Wire rope
450×450×760 cm

The space inside the arch of a crescent moon has a mystical attraction.
Suspending a meteorite (lava) in that space and reflecting the drama of space in a calm water surface added to the appeal of that environment.

800×2000×600 cm
10 t

My sculpture takes reverence for nature as its spiritual support, and is based on the beauty of the mechanical structure between spatial tension and an instant of halted time.
This bridge continues to point in the direction to the earth's axis.

THE THIRD AMABIKI VILLAGE AND SCULPTURE / TAKADA Satoru

Bio - Bridge - A proposal to The 21st century

Iron, Drums (stainless steel), Fluorescent paint, Artificial ecology reef, Black light
800×800×450 cm
750 kg

This piece floats on the water surface. There is an artificial habitat reef beneath the surface, which is purifying the water.
The shape supported by the buoyancy of the metal drums stores energy from ultraviolet rays and releases it as light after dark, shining like the breath of creatures in the dark of night, and moving slowly with the wind and waves.

It is a proposal to the 21st century for the formation of environments.
