So, I recently got a new camera (just in time for the Setouchi Triennale 2019 🙂 ). For the past 6 years or so, I used a bridge camera, but I feel that I really outgrew it for the past year or so (also image quality doesn’t seem as […]

16 posts
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 […]
I was on Ogijima today, but the weather was pretty bad, so no pictures were taken (I still had a great time catching up with friends). So instead here is a few pictures I took last month. It’s going to be one more occasion to enjoy the cherry blossoms. […]

One of the things I want to do more in the months to come is to become more involved with Ogijima as a community. In other words, not simply be a visitor there anymore. It won’t be easy, the language barrier remaining strong – last week I couldn’t attend […]
Last Friday we went to Ogijima with no other goal than having a chill, relaxing day, nothing else (not even visiting some art, all Setouchi Triennale artworks being closed on week days in between sessions – except for the outdoor ones of course). However, a surprise event awaited when […]
