On March 27, 2025, the landscape between Tachikawa and Tama Center was recorded with a high-resolution high-speed camera through the window of the Tama Monorail in western Tokyo. Taking this single recording as its source material, this work rewrites the temporal and spatial structure of the image through digital coordinate transformation, thereby transforming the very temporal and spatial experience of 'passing' itself.
Rendered through continuously varying timings and parameters, streams of transformed footage play on seamlessly, their paths shifting in response to the viewer's act of 'watching' or 'not watching' the screen. Responding to this non-linear generation, the sound is produced in real time through an AI model.
Carrying its contradictions within, the landscape flows endlessly on — from left to right, without cease.
In time, this flow quietly works upon the viewer's perception, and the relations between distance, speed, and time gradually come undone.
