Yayoi Kusama's Red Pumpkin in Myanoura Port, on Naoshima.
I mean, I can't post a picture of the Yellow Pumpkin without posting a picture of her younger sister, the Red Pumpkin, right?

(fun fact: Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of this Pumpkin without anyone around? I have a technique and no, I will not […]

Yayoi Kusama's Yellow Pumpkin at the end of its pier on Naoshima.
I mean, I can't regularly post about the Setouchi region and its art and not post the Yellow Pumpkin once in a while
(fun fact: this picture was taken minutes after the unveiling of the new Yellow Pumpkin after the previous one was destroyed by a typhoon) […]

I'm not a very good video maker, so it's worth what it's worth, but here is my first video of the Setouchi Triennale 2025. "Our Island" by Émilie Faïf on Ogijima.

Meon (the ferry to Megijima and Ogijima) at Takamatsu Port, waiting to depart for its 4pm trip. The sky is a wonderful blue, quite a contrast from the thick fog this morning.
So, now you're here! When it's time for me to go to my dentist appointment!!!
Oh well, see you tomorrow or Tuesday.

A Setouchi Triennale 2025 Art Passport in my hand.
Oh well, my first Setouchi Triennale day was delayed because of the morning fog, but at least I got my Art Passport, so there is that. (yes, I'm old school, I like my passport to be made of paper not of bytes, especially because I usually need at least two before […]

I have no idea how to even start describing this. Okay, in the background there is a traditional Japanese village on a hill. On the foreground, it's a white structure that vaguely resembles a seashell. It's made of metal but it's actually "lace" made of various scripts from various languages. oh and it's actually the roof of a building made of glass, that happens to be the welcome center of the island. Does it made any sense?
Ogijima's Soul by Jaume Plensa, on Ogijima

Now that I think about it, I think it's the first time I post it on the Fediverse.
It's called "Ogijima's Soul" and it's a work of art by Jaume Plensa

A corridor with some drawings on the walls (if you look closely, parts of the drawings have been erased). At the end of the corridor, a cupboard with something inside.
What's inside of the cupboard: a small statue of the goddess Benzaiten in mermaid form. It was made with eraser crumbs collected from erasing the drawings mentioned in the other picture. She is the fisherman's dream.
"Fisherman's Dream" by Saya Irie on Shodoshima.

A small fishing boat moored at its pier. Its side is painted with big red circles and more.
Unfortunately there aren't many boats left from the "OGI Project" by Team Ogi, but here is one.

One thing I love about the Setouchi Triennale, and a lot of installation art is that it makes real and tangible an unreal and imaginary world. For example this artwork from Yoshitaka Nanjo on Shamijima.

A work of art that consists of painted wooden panels on the wall of an old Japanese house. Each panel is different, with different colors and motifs.

A large installation: a tunnel made of wooden window frames going through an old building.

"Bottom Sky" by Alexander Ponomarev.
One stunning artwork of the Setouchi Triennale, unfortunately, one of the lesser known ones that deserves much more recognition.
