LOOP

2026

LOOP does not attempt to fill the field. It establishes a contained point of attention within it.

The kinetic light sculpture was created by FLIGHTGRAF, the Tokyo-based audiovisual duo Kento Tomiyoshi and Makoto Shozu. Kento works across visual direction, motion and product design, while Makoto is a composer, sound designer and concept designer.

Twenty luminous discs travel vertically along slender, self-standing structures. Their movement unfolds in synchronisation with Makoto’s composition, which gives the changing light its pace, tension and emotional structure. Sound is integral to how the sculpture moves through time.

From a distance, the circular arrangement resembles a constellation suspended close to the ground. As the discs rise and fall, individual actions gradually become a collective rhythm.

Its contained scale is central to the encounter. Darkness, grass and open space remain visible, allowing the field to participate in the work.

LOOP rewards sustained attention. Its presence emerges gradually, showing how a delicate intervention can change our awareness of an entire landscape.
