About Hitobito Enstalasyon Limyè

Hitobito se yon enstalasyon limyè ki te kreye pou yon festival lantèn ki te fèt nan vil Taipei an 2023. Estrikti a enspire pa karaktè chinwa ki reprezante mo "moun", ki fòme pa de eleman ki soutni youn ak lòt. De antre etwat mennen vizitè yo antre anndan, kote chemen yo rankontre pou fòme yon sèl gwo espas. Yon pwojektè nan mitan an pwojte yon grafik anmouvman sou tè a. Yon chasi tiyo asye ki koube alamen pentire an blan e kouvri ak baton bambou trese ki gen yon santimèt lajè. Enstalasyon an mezire 9.8 mèt lajè, 7.8 mèt fon ak 3.5 mèt wotè.
