Last weekend was a pretty busy one. Four islands were visited in two days. Oshima, Megijima, and Ogijima on Saturday, Shodoshima on Sunday. The reason was a preview of a certain number of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 new artworks’ sites. Why? With whom? How did I manage three islands in […]
Another day on Ogijima? Sure, why not? Last Saturday, Team Ogi was supposed to bring its new artwork for the Setouchi Triennale 2019 to Ogijima. However, they were behind schedule, and we ended up being 24 hours early. Rest assured, Team Ogi did bring its art on the following day. […]
Every time a new edition of the Setouchi Triennale is around the corner, one of the “traditions” of this blog is to interview a few of the artists who are taking part in the festival. This year, it’s Sarah Westphal who kindly answered my questions first. We briefly met last […]

Jaume Plensa’s Ogijima’s Soul is such a wonderful artwork that it looks stunning even under terrible weather conditions. (fun fact: that day had started pretty nicely, when those huge clouds came out of nowhere, fell on us, drenched the island and left as quickly as they arrived […]

Oh no, I got attacked by a white rabbit again! OK, so, about 10 days ago was the last leg of my series of tours with the people from Koebi and the Setouchi Triennale’s Organizing Committee for you-know-what. 😉 This time we went to both Megijima and Ogijima, and […]
Fun fact: I don’t think I had been to Megijima in the past two years (wow, really? I guess I’m too busy going to Ogijima all the time 😉 ), when suddenly… I went last week, I went yesterday and I’m returning there on Saturday…. What’s happening? <suspenseful music…> Don’t […]
