This work is both somewhere in time and here and now.

The world of the artwork changes with the real time of its location. Morning arrives in the artwork with the sunrise in the real world, and when the sun sets, evening begins. If it rains in the real world of the work’s location, it rains in the world of the artwork, and the flora that grow in the artwork change every day with each passing season.
The people’s lives also change continuously depending on the time of day and weather of the real world, and the festivals and events that are celebrated change with the seasons. Various stories take place every day, and the lives of people continue eternally.

The actions of viewers influence the world of the artwork. The people in the artwork respond when a viewer touches them, but if the interaction is limited, they return to their daily lives.
If the interaction is continuous, however, fights break out amongst the people in the artwork that are near to each other, leading to deaths. The fighting spreads throughout the city, which becomes engulfed in flames that last for over a year. As the city burns to the ground, the people in the artwork eventually die out.

In the ruined city where not a single person remains, the seasons still pass and the sun rises and sets with the time of the real world. After a few months, new flora begin to grow in the burnt ruins of the city.
The flora grow, bloom, and scatter repeatedly, changing daily with the real passage of time. The flowers and plants grow deeply over the course of a long period, and the flowers change throughout every year, continuing in perpetuity.

Once the world of this artwork begins to burn, the world from before can never be returned to.
The people who interact with the artwork cause this outcome.

在一个小时的时间里，一整年的花朵花开花落，持续着变化。

花儿会随着，诞生、盛开，随后散落、枯萎、死去。不断延续着诞生与死灭的循环。人们在作品前走动时，花朵会一起凋零，而停留不动时，花朵会持续绽放并蔓延开来。

作品不是将预先制作好的影像进行放映，而是通过电脑程序实时绘制而成的。整体来说，作品的图像并非复制以前的状态，而是受到人们行为举止的影响，持续发生变化。眼前这一瞬间的画面，错过就无法再看到了。

春天，到访的群山樱花烂漫，山脚油菜花片片。面对绚烂的山花，使我不禁遐想，这些花有多少是人工种植的，又有多少是大自然的馈赠。这里绽放的花朵无边无际，是让人心旷神怡的场所。而接着让我感受到的是，这里的自然环境多多少少是受到了人为影响而形成的生态环境。有多少是自然原本的相貌，又有多少是人为影响造成的，界线非常模糊。也就是说，自然与人类没有对立的概念，让人心旷神怡的大自然结合了人类的影响，是和谐共处的生态环境。而有别于近代，人类对于自然无法掌握和控制的前提下，有了遵循自然法则的人们的长期经营，才创造了这个让人心旷神怡的自然环境。生活在这个山谷里的人们，依稀地让我感觉到自古以来的自然与人的关系性依然留存，我想近一步探索在无法控制自然的前提下，对于自然产生影响的人为因素到底是何物。
