The other day (OK, it really was one and half years ago, when I just started working there, though the pictures are a bit more recent) I found something interesting on Kagawa University’s main campus. Check it out: Those long (5 story-high) tubes are full of rocks […]
Blind Blue Landscape is a work by Floridian artist Teresita Fernandez. It has been on Naoshima since the very first Setouchi Triennale back in 2010 (when it was still called Setouchi International Art Festival). It is composed of several thousands little cubes of glass that have been […]
You may have already seen this picture if you follow my Instagram account (and if you don’t may I advise that you do 😉 ), but I’m posting it again here, because it’s worth it. You may know that it’s currently phosphorescent plancton season. So, the other day I […]
