Daigo Ishii{Future-scape Tokyo One Hour 1:01:49
2001


I feel the city is a timetunnel-like space of an endless patchwork of images - so to show this I recorded a variety of places in my video. In Tokyo, all different scales and designs fade into one smooth surface. The space in your home is connected via pavements, highstreets and the view from trains with office areas an hour away. It's all one. In this video, I show the impression of Tokyo described by the English writer Bird in 1878. In 2001, does the distance between Tokyo and London seem any shorter? Has it increased?
