Since their visit to Japan was postponed due to the spread of infectious disease, the video will be distributed.

◆Kota Yamazaki Statement

Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Halo (Fog, Nerves, Future, Ocean, Halo) explores the innately unstable, multilayered, and skitzophrenic nature of humans, representing humans and the universe in their nervous, subtle, and unpredictable behavior. Inspired by the landscape of Wellington, the work was created in pursuit of the spoken word, which hovers like a water bubble, disturbed, forgotten, repeated, and silenced. Through the ever-changing circumstances and performers, I want to expose a new side of Wellington.
