This installation is comprised of over 10,000 stick-shaped
balloons, the same type that are often carried by sports
spectators. The balloons are formed into the shape of a
wormhole, and with the natural current of the wind, they tap
against each other and create the sound of applause. In addition
to expressing the interconnected motions of people living in the
same era and the “joy of living in this time together,” the work
also embodies a feeling of encouragement for people living in
the “present.”
ARTISTS
DAISY BALLOON
DAISY BALLOON is a balloon unit of worldwide balloon artist Rie
Hosokai and art director/graphic designer Takashi Kawada.
Since forming in 2008, they have produced many balloon art works
based on the themes of “sense and quality.” Above all, the
balloon dresses have fascinated many people through the
intricacy of detail that suggests architectural qualities.
