Hotel "Prince Smart Inn Atami"
Entrance Artwork
2021

I was responsible for a portion of the artwork installed in the building's entrance.
Based on fieldwork in Atami, I extracted fragments of tourist attractions, local products, and landscapes, and reconstructed them as multiple panels.
While each element is an independent image, their arrangement within the space allows them to loosely relate to each other, creating a unified landscape. Each panel functions as a "visual fragment" open to the space, emerging as a device encompassing multiple perspectives.
Furthermore, each artwork is equipped with a QR code, allowing access to a video of "NEO Atami" constructed within the virtual space "inner space." Viewers experience the space in a multi-layered way, moving back and forth between the fragmented images placed in the real space and the landscape unfolding digitally.
