Dim wilderness and a man who continues to walk in the same area as if dragging his tired body. The man’s afterimages float in space to form a giant agglomeration and cover the man’s head. On land, tentacles cling to the man as if blocking him from walking. Eventually, the man falls to the ground and sinks into his inner world.

Modern people, constantly exposed to information and living together with complicated human relationships. Our self-recognized outlines and boundaries fluctuate, change, and dissolve. A film depicting humans living this repetition with a foreign vividness.

This is an original film by a unit of Ryo Kitabatake and Takuma Sasaki, who received the Best of Stash, Gold Telly Award. The latest filming technology volumetrics were used, it was shot at Dimension Studio in London, and the music was created by Max Cooper.

On July 19th, 2019, a 12-screen large cinema complex, the “Grand Cinema Sunshine,” opened in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The Grand Cinema Sunshine is Japan’s largest fixed cinema and is equipped with the up-to-date technologies. Under the direction of WOW, the chandelier, Lumière, located in the entrance lobby of the 4th floor of the complex and the large LED display, Motion Ceiling, that covers the ceiling of the 12th floor have been procured. In addition, a world perspective of the Motion Ceiling is extracted, and it is linked to the production of images that are displayed in the 47 55-inch digital signage displays installed within the walls and pillars of the facility.

Lumière
“A new form of art born from a combination of craft with a modern twist” - with this outlook in mind the chandelier was commissioned to stand as the icon of the Grand Cinema Sunshine. Its spherical shape has a diameter of 2.7m and has a stainless mirrored finish, and is divided into 47 Voronoi parts - projecting in 4 directions films played on the screen situated in its center to create a complex and continual visual reflection.

Motion Ceiling
Spanning the large ceiling with a width of 31 meters and a height of 10 meters is an art motion graphics work, the Motion Ceiling. This work is reminiscent of beautiful ceiling art and was commissioned along with three thematic points: “GEOMETRY” or lightsome tiling; “REFLECTION” or the portrayal of a giant cloth flowing beautifully in the sky; and “LIGHT” or the depiction of a city landscape wrapped in countless sparkling particles. The largeness of the LED display makes it possible to gaze upon it from its surrounding spaces. The work was built by referencing the multiple vantage points from which it would be looked upon, such as by those relaxing in the cafe and by passersby.
