TAKAHASHI Kyota
Fragments of Color Cubesis a work that illuminates, in multiple colors, the cluster of blocks that constitutes the TAC complex. At night, buildings that manifest as solid white cubes during the day are reconfigured into a series of planes by the light throwing into relief the rectangles of their exterior walls. A light show that changes according to the season, inspired by the natural surroundings of Towada, makes nighttime more colorful for people on the nearby streets.
