Now that the Setouchi Triennale 2019 is over, I paradoxically have more time to tell you about it and to show you all the things that I simply didn’t have time to show you while they were happening. I guess we can consider these posts as partly retrospective for those […]

Believe it or not, I hadn’t been to Oshima in six years! I mean, during the Setouchi Triennale, I actually went last winter. The problem with this island is that due to its very unique status, you don’t really go there to just hang out and have fun as you […]
Seeing how often I manage to update this blog at the moment, I came to the realization that if I want to cover as much ground as possible telling you about the Setouchi Triennale 2019, I’ll have to break away from chronological order, otherwise, I’ll only reach some destinations after […]
This post is a little different from the other Setouchi Triennale 2019 posts so far, as it doesn’t focus on one single day, but rather on one artist and his art. Namely, Xiang Yang and his amazing project on Shodoshima called: The Shore Where We Can Reach Xiang Yang’s […]
This small trip didn’t actually happen during the Setouchi Triennale 2019, but a few days before the opening of the summer session. On that day, I went to Shodoshima for a very specific reason in the morning (but that will be detailed most likely next post), and in the afternoon, […]
So typhoon number 10 has come and gone. It was a pretty weird one, quite big, quite slow, but quite uneventful here in Takamatsu (and I underline here in Takamatsu, it may have caused damage elsewhere that I’m not aware of yet). I’m just returning from the coast where I […]
We were on May 12th, the Spring session of the Setouchi Triennale 2019 had just started its second half, and the end was in the distance already. Time to finally go to Megijima. It’s no secret that Megijima is far from being my favorite island of the area for a […]
The day was May 7th. It was the first day post Golden Week, my sixth day spent on an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, including my third on Ogijima (yes, this Spring session, was Ogijima-heavy indeed, but my life is Ogijima-heavy, so it makes sense…). Finally, the crowds were […]
On our fifth day visiting an island for the Setouchi Triennale 2019, we returned to Ogijima for a very special occasion. See, the Setouchi Triennale is not just art exhibits, museums, and installations. It’s also about events, big and small. Sometimes it’s a concert, sometimes it’s a unique performance that’s […]
For our fourth day attending the Setouchi Triennale 2019 (which was really our third day, remember, I twisted the timeline a little) we returned to Shodoshima. We had to, we had left the car there two days prior. We hopped on the ferry to Ikeda Port on the morning of […]
