An attempt to re-ignite the subtle lives of the images by montage the images on portraits that have been discarded and animation, mediate them, and create stories in the viewer.

When the face is photographed with a dedicated iPads installed in the venue, the face is reflected in the image of people working inside the 3.4-meter tower.

A traveling exhibition where you can experience the view of nature through the humorous goldfish personified by Ukiyo-e artist Kuniyoshi Utagawa. It consists of a Ukiyo-e reproduction, Kuniyoshi’s goldfish face-fitting paper craft, and a VR where you can experience the gaze of a goldfish. Especially, this VR is different from “immersive feeling” that you enjoy by yourself by looking at the HMD. Using real-time synthesis of animated goldfish on the image of a 360-degree camera, it realize “Place created by VR”.
