During an artist residency on Yakushima Island, I set out to observe the fleeting moment that exists between night and day—a moment so subtle it often goes unnoticed.
In ancient Japan, it was believed that ominous spirits roamed the night and vanished with the break of dawn. In modern urban life, however, the boundary between night and morning has become blurred, almost imperceptible. On Yakushima, I entered the forest before sunrise, hoping to encounter that ambiguous threshold.

Takashi Hokoi
Reading the Wind - Iceland
In 2025, Hokoi Takashi captured the wind on film in Iceland.
This isolated island in the North Atlantic is a harsh living environment where the weather changes rapidly and strong winds blow throughout the year. At the same time, its people benefit from nature’s abundance, harnessing natural energy for electricity and using geothermal heat for everyday life. Through the winds of Iceland—one of the places where humans must directly confront nature—Hokoi reflects on the relationship between humanity and nature, and imagines its future.
Windgraph is a device designed to record the direction of the wind.
