Shimizu Ken, T'. Installation view at Palazzo Mora, 2016.

Searching for a scenery that is yet unseen
A voice whispers, “There are no such dreamscapes in this city, and you know it”
The doors close and the elevator travels to the observatory on the top floor
From this height objects appear distant,
The physical world presents itself like objects placed on a surface,
All the elements shaping the whole
Skepticism of what can be seen seeps in like the cold
And the question arises... "Where am I?"
Caught in the space where perspectives collide, the hunger for an imagined reality persists as a silent hope
A new realm emerges as the metal craft reaches high altitude
And a strange transition in sense of height clouds ordinary perception
As if peering through glass, skyscrapers appear to be compressed, transformed and fixed as a photograph
An unexpected event to the eye,
Enough to satisfy and spark the imagination
"What might a planetscape seen by astronauts look like?"
