A Gift to the Earth 2010

THEME

“A Gift to the Earth” A meteorite from space has pierced the ground! A form that seems to defy gravity. Show window, POLA Building 1F, Ginza 1-chome, Tokyo In a great city overflowing with things, environmental artist Mariyo Yagi expressed the primal image of all matter in this world as primitive art that hints at the future. An image of quark “light,” bound together in mysterious colors, is projected as video onto a sculpture formed from the four forces (gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force, and the weak force). A collaboration with Jinn Yagi. In the middle of the night in Ginza, a “mysterious, stirring light” draws the eyes of passersby. POLA, which pursues “beauty” and celebrated its 81st anniversary in 2010, constantly presents innovative art from the show window display of the POLA Ginza Building 1F, art that conveys an impactful message beyond conventional displays.
