forgive
WOW was in charge of directing and installing a space in which viewers experience the worldview poured into the song "forgive" while taking a stroll around it, with the gymnasium of the former Oginohama Elementary School that was closed in 2018 in the Momoura area of the Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture as its stage.
“This is an installation created by the art director Chie Morimoto, visual design studio WOW, and musician Takeshi Kobayashi, based on the song of the same name. “While the song forgive was born when the ten-year anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake coincided with the extraordinary circumstances that people find themselves restrained by due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this collectively made installation aims to reproduce the song in a physical space. I hope that visitors will feel prayers and reverberations in an altruistic space attempting to overcome divisions, along with hearing the call ‘enya kora’ that motivates us to move forward toward the fluid and uncertain future.” (Takeshi Kobayashi)”
Exhibition period: August 11th to September 26th, 2021
Venue: Former Oginohama Elementary School Gymnasium, Oshika Peninsula, Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture
