Midnight in a Perfect World

Timeless

Journey to the End of the Night

People think that places rich in nature are the opposite of big cities.
However, when we consider the earth as one of the countless stars, it is one of nature.
So, under the theme of "the way the city should be as nature," I created a work that fuses the magnificent mountains and dazzling starry sky of Nagano with the overwhelming night view of Tokyo.
The reason why the title is not "natural" but "shi [Zi]ZEN" is that I also wanted to incorporate the Japanese atmosphere of Zen into the work.
I hope that the people who see it will give you a chance to think deeply about the relationship between the city and nature.
