By CR in Notifications, Others, Lessons, Vision Formulation 0 Comment

The exhibition from Ingo Gunther, “RE-Nature,” is currently underway, and displays works related to Mr. Gunther’s project to turn the concrete block walls on Japan’s coastlines into manmade islands. He is strongly committed to bringing back a more natural appearance and proposes ideas such as turning Tetrapods green, as well as displaying works from deep sea photography in Japan’s oceans. We can also witness the way he aims to lead this problem to a solution from an artist’s viewpoint. We hope everyone will come and see the exhibition. (Hashimoto)

Reference Film Viewing Event at Uplink

By CR in FUKUSHIMA VOICE, Notifications 0 Comment

On Monday March 11, FUKUSHIMA VOICE students attended an event at Shibuya Uplink, involving the viewing of a reference film and a lecture. The students watched “Backdrop Kurdistan” (directed by Masaru Nomoto, produced by Kazuo Osawa), and discussed their responses to it while also listening to a lecture from Mr. Osawa. He spoke about what he felt was important when shooting the documentary and his methods for filming. Upon hearing so many interesting stories, the students’ desire to work hard on their own film production became even stronger. (Hashimoto)
