This is one of his masterpieces named "Magnetron Series", an indoor installation with light asits motif. Video of a TV monitor - artificial light - is reflected on the wall of the other side. You can watch only the reflection from the TV monitor screen-shaped void on the wall of yet another side. Being in this space for a while, you will find yourself to be fettered by a mysterious feeling which the light and the space around it give. The aim of this work is that those who appreciate it will have sensory reactions. Essentially it has the image of Japanese public broadcasting.
