In my previous post, I told you about the Slowpoke manhole cover on Naoshima and the reason for it. If you’ve missed it, it’s near the end of the post, but really you should read all of it. Today, I’m showing you the Slowpoke manhole cover in Takamatsu. This […]
A few days ago, tired of staying inside, but still needing to distance ourselves socially from other people, we thought od the perfect place for that. That is Nagasaki no Hana, in other terms, the northern tip of Yashima: Fun fact: this video was shot from the spot in […]

There are only 10 days left in the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019, so it’s not too late to tell you about Madeleine Flynn‘s & Tim Humphrey‘s art on Shamijima. Or rather, have them talk about it. They were very kind to answer my question right before the […]
