SUPER WALL ART TOKYO started from a desire to create a work instilled with a symbolic message that demonstrates to the world the fascinating culture and art of Japan, and that will make people look back even decades later and say, “That was amazing.” COVID-19 has changed many of our values and the way we see the world. However, the powerful message emanating from this artwork is universal, and could only have been realised by the pair of YOKOO Tadanori and Mimi. This project has made me realise that art is truly amazing. I believe that art is about the exploration of human nature, and I feel that this work has shown us the real power behind art.Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL Special 13: SUPER WALL ART TOKYO142株式会社ドリルエグゼクティブ・クリエーティブ・ディレクターExecutive Creative Director, Drill Inc.細川 直哉 さんHosokawa NaoyaThey used to say that the real thrill of attending live theatre is in being able to almost feel every breath of the performers. But this kind of experience has been difficult to have in a world with COVID-19, and so we compensated for this through the use of technologies, such as streaming video. I believe this has resulted in an interesting way of seeing the stage that differs from actually being at the theatre, such as by having the cameras capture the performers at really close range, taking close-ups shot from angles that seem to cling to them. We experience astonishment and new emotions when trivial aspects of our realities are presented from alternative perspectives that had not been seen before. I think that is what art is all about. I would like to move forward in this radically changed world that we live in by searching for what we can do through art.Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL Special 13: TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUNDアーティスティック・ディレクターArtistic Director川口 隆夫 さんKawaguchi TakaoWill it be possible to host a music festival in these COVID-19 times? This question stayed in our minds because we were constantly pursued by the possibility of cancellation as we proceeded with our plans. Our first and foremost concern was to avoid and prevent the spread of infection, and the performers and support staff were all taking this into consideration. But once the performance started, the result was a dramatic burst of artistic expressions going head-to-head with one another that created an experience that surmounted the current realities we face. And when I saw the audience members leaving with smiles of true enjoyment on their faces, I knew that we will be able to move on to the next step since we had been able to manage this one. The performers will perform, and the support staff will take heed of audience reactions to move forward, which in turn will lead to the next performance. This is the loop that we wish to create for the future of the SaLaD MUSIC FESTIVAL.TOKYO MET SaLaD MUSIC FESTIVAL(commonly known as SaLaD MUSIC FESTIVAL)東京都交響楽団演奏統括部Artistic Management Department, Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra舘岡 吾弥 さんTateoka GoyaTokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL スペシャル13 「東京大壁画」 「東京大壁画」は、日本の文化・芸術の素晴らしさを世界に発信し、何十年後でも「あれはすごかった」と思い出してもらえるシンボリックなメッセージを込めたいというのが企画の出発点でした。新型コロナウイルスで世の中の価値観や見方は色々変化しましたが、この作品から発信される強いメッセージは普遍的なもので、横尾忠則氏・美美氏のお二人だったからこそだと思います。今回のプロジェクトを通して、アートって本当にすごいなと実感しました。アートは人間性の追求だと思いますが、本当のアートの力を見せてもらった気がします。Tokyo Tokyo FESTIVAL スペシャル13「TOKYO REAL UNDERGROUND」 昔は、「パフォーマーの飛び散る汗を浴びながら観劇するのが、生の舞台の醍醐味」と言われました。コロナ禍ではそれは難しかったので、映像配信などテクノロジーで補いましたが、カメラは本当に至近距離でパフォーマーを捉え、くらいつくようなアングルからの接近など普通の観劇とは一味違った面白さを提供できたと思います。些細な現実を今までにない大胆な切り口で見せられた時に驚きや新たな感情が生まれる。それがアートだと思います。世界が様変わりした中で、アートを通じて何ができるか、模索しながら進んでいきたいです。TOKYO MET SaLaD MUSIC FESTIVAL(愛称：サラダ音楽祭) コロナ禍で音楽祭を開催できるのか、常に中止と隣り合わせの状態で計画を進めました｡とにかく感染しない・させない。出演者もスタッフもそのことを考えていましたが、いざ公演となると、この状況を凌駕する、芸術と芸術がぶつかりあう内容となり、ご来場くださったお客さまが本当に楽しそうな笑顔でお帰りになる姿を見て、これができたのだから次へ進めると感じました。出演者が発信して、それを受け取ったお客さまの反応を、スタッフが次回につなぐ。そしてまた発信する。このループで、これからのサラダ音楽祭を創っていければと思います。事業に携わった方の声Voice of Organisers
