Field of Stars

Permanent installation

Field of Stars project is a collaboration between artist Teresita Fernández and master carpenter Shuji Nakagawa, together with a younger generation of team members, led by Shunya Hashizume of TOMORROW, alongside interns Kohei Wakamatsu and Cypress Fernández-Downs.

Fernández’s conceptually based work is rooted in challenging conventional definitions of landscapes by deconstructing traditional genres of landscape painting and land art to reveal more urgent narratives. She places particular importance on her critical choices of materials that have complex histories often tied to colonialism, land, and power.

Field of Stars, was developed by working closely with the intergenerational creative team.
