Sazaerou 3 Building" (video produced by Sakatsu Gallery)



is an object of structure that cannot exist in reality, a virtual architecture.
Produced as a work of art using diorama production techniques. (It is a tribute to "the dawn of modernist architecture" about a century ago.
It is an imaginary structure with a spiral corridor, with the corridor portion sloping at about 1/8th of an incline. It was created based on the same concept as "version 3" of the object "Eihorou," which was completed in 2016.

As in previous works of art, the building is surrounded by water. It represents the fact that coastal cities and islands around the world are in danger of being submerged as sea level rise due to global environmental warming becomes a reality.

The title is taken from "Eirado," a Buddhist temple with a corridor inside, which was built in large numbers in the Kanto and Tohoku regions in the late Edo period (1603-1868), the same as Building 1. Some of the "Eiraido" are said to be still in existence. This work was created as an artwork using the diorama technique. (Scale: S=1/150, N scale)
