Shibuya culture PROJECT

Editorial department:And around the Shibuya underground concourse, did you tired?

Hashimoto:No, not at all. Recently began the "Yokohama Triennale", ... because you have to walk every day because Art events there were many.

Editorial department:Well, or impressions that have seen how we did.

Hashimoto:I think most are photographs were many as the amount.

Editorial department:Sakiko Nomura, until towards the amateur from prominent photographers such as Masashi Asada, is so total of 26 people have been participating. In particular whether there was a remaining photo to mind?

Hashimoto:Toka Yoyogi Park series ( "in the park" moco × loftwork), bike series ( "Ride in Shibuya" Fukuchi Nami宇郎 × loftwork) Toka. It was well taken people series ( "live in Shibuya working in Shibuya" MAYA from West End) is also working. Personally, Shibuya or used to move because it is a terminal station, when the landed I strong town of the image to meet with people, and that is reflected is fun look and atmosphere of each person, and the other cities in the Shibuya together, I Naa'm there are people who are spending their time like this. "Individual" was I hope to come into view. As a person, I wish'm there is Shibuya for its people, it was forced to once again ha.

Editorial department:渋谷って無機質な印象があると思うんですが、ちゃんと血が通っている人がいるんだっていうことに気がつきますよね。そういえば、外国人の方々もたくさん写っていましたね。あと、フォトグラファーさんの年齢もあるんでしょうけど、若者を被写体にしたが多かったですね。

Hashimoto:Series taken by the club ( "Live !!!!!" Iwasawatakashi) Toka, but it was another young man 100% (laughs). Given the contrary, just do not know, I guess there is surely also the place I zero percent young people. For example, Toka mah-jongg parlor. It is the club would different age groups at all, I'd like to take a look at even such a place. In that sense, as good as there is a lot more photos.

Editorial department:Well, a lot more. Even to this time 1000 people shooting, but I have heard that was pretty much ..., what about (laughs). In, Fashion How was? There is also space and set-up on the restrictions of the problem I have heard that there has been a lot of hard time until you form.

Hashimoto:Hey Will was so. However, it is what kind of form, putting the fashion content of Some "shibuya1000" is I thought it was important. As an image of Shibuya, fashion is inseparable. Rather, fashion only very, I think there is a lot of cuts. Speaking of which, I think there was a series ( "85/1000" Sakiko Nomura) who are also taking the clerk's 109 with a photograph. That I think that captures the elements of the well "fashion".

Editorial department:It seems there is a lot of way and think so.

Even if not show me all the answers, have fun situation that gives a lot of stimulus work

Editorial department:Exhibition "Shibuya of shape" (Keio University Hiroto Kobayashi Study Group) is, it was Irasshai looking slowly stopped.

Hashimoto:People in the building system, is not it to field work before making the building. Butterfly of barometer of the "Shibuya heritage" ( "SHIBUYA ROUTE GUIDE" Shin Muramatsu + Institute of Industrial Science, University of Tokyo Muramatsu laboratory + Kokushikandaigaku Kunihiro laboratory) also, "form of Shibuya" is also, from the point of view of the experts " When told the city can be seen this ", I think you can still discover. That Tteyuu "Does this town is what the city of the", since it is well visual of, I was able to see fun.

Editorial department:"Form of Shibuya" is, but was making a topographical map in the cut of information and economic and terrain, I guess there is also still a different cut.

Hashimoto:I agree. That watching the film "became the study," he said rather than end with passive, or "I think this way you were me", I think that it is good to be able to even think from there in each. Work is also not show me all of the cuts, the situation that gives us a lot of stimulus to do so I think that fun.

Editorial department:When considered as a public art, work required, the description of such concepts as the "form of Shibuya" What about?

Hashimoto:Public art is, I because I do not watch and prepare. I think where you do not know just by looking at the package, there certainly. When was this time, the Toka wound Shibuya of terrestrial landscape poster "Shibuya sunset." (Kazunari Suzuki) to the pillar, but it is fun because there is a surprise to watch the package. However, all is if it's like that, end enjoy to consume on the spot, I think that it is not interesting because it becomes to feel that. After all, because it is an art project, to want a more exciting, I want you to be more creative. While there is also a fun works glance, that Tteyuu there is also work to think properly, I think that it is an ideal form.

Editorial department:In "shibuya1000", I mean it was one of the challenges of performing the work exhibited at the underground concourse, I meaning of arranging the work to Aiu location, what what?

Hashimoto:Usually, since the over there of the underground passage I mean there is only advertising, when the exhibition is not intended to be consumed as a start for a photo line up the number of only that, first, I think the situation is interesting. In particular, since place Shibuya that is full ads. Walking people who have also in the wind, such as "What a this?", Seemed to have seen the exhibition to care than advertising.

Editorial department:The back of the fashion exhibition, we had a huge projector. However, the standing long period of time in front of that image is physically in Shindoku .... I think the video is intended to limit the environment and time. What do difficult exhibition of video works in the public space?

Hashimoto:Whether good out how much the sound, or to shield the space to where if you are screened at a certain extent a dark environment, such as whether it is possible to drop the light of the floor, I think that there are a variety of regulations, including safety issues. Come to think of a successful example of public art by the video that has been seen so far, I feel like many things that "are using the video as a gimmick" will.

Editorial department:Use the video as a gimmick?

Hashimoto:For example, in the Minato Mirai Station on the Minato Mirai line, but it has a installed in the public space of the large video system called "future tube", where has also been screened content to change the image of the wall in response to people who walk. Different music and video by location to walk the person will or is played. Although I location of which is also used as a meeting, or try signed by the video and the person in front of the video is standing three people, without permission three people in the video in the triangle. I There is the impression that people of that there is a kind of interactive gimmick has been popular.

Editorial department:I see. Rather than to focus on the content of the video, it is that.

Hashimoto:After that, because even the one by one of the video work this thing quality is high, it is also interesting to incorporate a "choose" element is the viewer. With or there is a channel, Toka has become a mechanism to choose their favorite video in the button. A pretty simple me people, if there is a button, I think you will want to touch after all. In, glad when the video comes out to touch (laughs).

I think that there is also a part that would narrowed by Tteyuu Art

Editorial department:「shibuya1000」は今年が始めてのイベントだったんですが、プロジェクト全体としての印象はいかがでしたか？

Hashimoto:For people who walk the streets, I think that it is an event to be various think opportunity. You might also have people who do not is completely picked up everything about "Shibuya," but not not you is important to scoop all, important to either try to Shibuya, because gives us the opportunity to think about something It is important.

Editorial department:Or "Yokohama Triennale" at the same time, or "Akasaka Art Flower", you There are art events in various places. Previously in Shibuya, but That's why the event was not at all, from now on, "shibuya 1000" Do you think we are familiar with Shibuya?

Hashimoto:Words Tteyuu Art is very convenient. However, if you are watching this project, speaking of how far Do Art, if you look from a professional standpoint, I'm photos and fashion is where subtle. But not'm a negative What it means, I think that there is also a part that would shrunk by using the word art conversely. Shibuya it, even in a movie theater in apparel shop, or will not because there are more and more various cut, do good to go with the aim of direction that can enjoy its possibilities.

Editorial department:Get rid of the frame of art events?

Hashimoto:What art events in the city, I think there is a purpose Tteyuu going to tell the city of charm. But Shibuya is not 's town that has been planned to develop, as a result has become now of the situation, because it is a city that was also chaotic in the bad sense in a good way, it is difficult to specifically mention the "This is it!". Because of such a place is good itself that you have a mix of various elements Rather, would focus on one something I feel too good.

Editorial department:I because you have already told a lot of charm is the city itself.

Hashimoto:Yes. I Shibuya, but it is I think it's a city, such as "Tokyo microcosm" in the sense that there is in that sense. Whether the evolution of the town go then if moving. In the sense that stare the deployment of the future of the city, it is very meaning to consider here what is possible. I hope when it comes to an event that is considered such a thing.

shibuya1000 = video × Photos × × Fashion Exhibition × ···

Editorial department:From the standpoint of as an art producer, 2nd of this "shibuya1000" When you have to perform the third time, do you think more become interesting After doing What do you mean?

Hashimoto:In general, the art project in the city, unique to artists who have participated some people, I think that it is often that there is a one by one impressive even work the number is small are on display, but in Shibuya If do, I think as would focus on the so-called contemporary artists as I said earlier, is a waste. Person or a favorite movie to walk the streets, to get also interested in fashion lovers who, I think that it is better to go come up with certain elements of the spread, which is not limited to art. I think that's hard to put together, but (laughs). It will feel a little different to take the same approach as the Akasaka Toka Toka Marunouchi.

Editorial department:Titled "shibuya1000" is, it's 1000 What because not juicing. To start from the point where squeezing the theme When you was true, do not juicing, is throwing from the beginning (laughs). There already it does not may be "Shibuya-ish" where such of.

Hashimoto:Words Tteyuu "shibuya1000" is, I think very good. "Shibuya1000 = Art Project" rather than, "shibuya1000 = video × Photos × × Fashion Exhibition × ···" Would not it be if we captured in the direction of. Although the deployment of on the free paper was the center this time, to the point of view of a project called I think the Shibuya of the city had been enhanced.

Editorial department:Finally, "shibuya1000" but I continued until October 13 (Monday), as recommended for people who see the future, and a word please.

Hashimoto:As I said the first to be, because only those that come E seen in this "shibuya1000" is I think not a Shibuya, I think to the contrary from "shibuya1000" and is interesting to consider the Shibuya for me. For example, in shibuya1000 free paper to enter the hand in the information, you have to create a nine route map from the previously listed "Shibuya heritage". Since the research is also such as are firmly made, I think that interesting out to Shibuya with this. Also may to try to go to places that was worrisome, but it is also good to try carrying a foot in a location that did not know. In that way, what was felt in "shibuya1000", when I brought on the ground in each of the way, I think we have surely various discovery.
