Things have gotten closer to the sun, And I've done things in small doses, So don't think that I'm pushing you away, When you're the one that I've kept closest 🎶 (Taken with Instagram)

Oiwa Island 2 Oscar Oiwa

Expanding on his work previously created for the 2013 Triennale and housed within a gymnasium on Ibuki Island, “Oiwa Island 2” will be installed within a building once used as a soy sauce warehouse. The audience will be allowed to walk inside the work of art: essentially a massive, 360-degree drawing made with black permanent marker on a 40-ft diameter inflatable vinyl dome. It’s located on Shodoshima.

New sections were added to the drawing, which will depict sky, forest and a small cottage on the sea shore. At this point we can only imagine the odd sensation of arriving on an island, walking into a soy sauce factory (which leads to the door of the cottage) and then suddenly being immersed in a black and white island.
