光の館
2003年に、新潟県の越後妻有と呼ばれる地方で三年に一度行われている「大地の芸術祭」に行ったときに、こいつはえらいもんを作ったなぁと思ったのが光の館だった。

その同時期、谷崎潤一郎の「陰影礼賛」を読んで蛍光灯にひどく嫌悪感を感じていたり、日本の近代文化に関する光と闇の興亡にひどく敏感になっている時だったから、余計心に残るものが大きかったのかもしれない。

James Turrel
House of Light
In 2003 I visited "Earth Art Festival" in an areal called Echigo-tsumari in Niigata, I was so overwhelmed to see the house of light.

In the same period, I had read Junichiro Tanizaki's "In Prase of Shadows" and I felt disgust about fluorescent lights, and was very sensitive to the fate of light and shadow related to Japanese modern cultures. Maybe that was because the impact was extremely huge.

James Turrell's "House of Light"
When I visited 'The Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial' in 2003, which was held in each three years, I felt that he had created something great. That was a house of light.
Photo&Text by tamachangg
At that time, I had a strong sense of dislike to a fluorescent light after reading "In Praise of Shadows" by Junichiro TANIZAKI. I was also too sensitive to a rise and fall of light and darkness concerning the Japanese modern culture. They might be the reasons for which I rememberd his work even more clearly.

この作品は家全体がジェームズ・タレルによる照明のコーディネートでできているのだが、リビングフロアーの開閉式の屋根部分から四角くのぞく空を見上げることが最大のポイントである。チェックインは必ず夕焼け前までに。夕陽が沈んでから、真っ暗になるまでの約30分程度のあいだ、急激に空の色が変化していく時間に、窓の内側から照らしているオレンジ色のLEDが、空の色に対応して徐々に明るく変化してゆき、切り抜かれた空と天井の色のコントラストが最も美しくなるように設計されている。

This piece uses entire house which lightings are coordinated by James Turrell. The most impressive point is to look up to the square-shaped sky which shows from the retractable roof in the living floor. Please be sure to check in before sunset. After sunset until the sky is completely dark, for approximately 30 minutes, in the time the color of sky quickly changes, orange LED lit from inside the window gradually turns bright according to the color of the sky. Clipped sky in contrast with ceiling light is designed to be most beautiful.

Although this work has been able to coordinate the lighting in the entire house by James Turrell, from the retractable roof of the living room without the square, the best point is looking up in the sky. Check-in is definitely before sunset. From sunset, around at least 30 minutes until dark, at the time when the color of the sky is changing suddenly the orange LED which is being lit up inside the window corresponds to the color of the sky and is gradually changing brightly. It is designed so that the contrast between the color of the clipped sky and ceiling will become the most beautiful.
そしてなによりこの光のプログラムは、光の館に宿泊しないと見れないのである。
そもそも日本の家屋に蛍光灯を使い始めたことは、大きな大きな間違いの始まりだったのではないかと思う。高度経済成長期「明るいナショナル」の標語にあるように、家中から、町中の明かりという明かりを、蛍光灯に取り替えてしまったことによって、本来明るく照らす必要のない所まで照らされるようになった。その結果、汚れたものまではっきり見えるようになってしまい、すぐに取り替える文化が生まれ、

More than anything, you are not allowed to see this lighting program unless you stay at the house of light.
I think starting to use fluorescent light in Japanese style house was a begininng of big big mistake. During the high economic growth period, like a catch-phrase "Bright National", all lighitings, from houses to towns, were switched to fluorescent lights. As a result, places that originally did not have to be lighted became lighted. Eventually, even stains became clearly visible, making people accustomed to immediately exchange the light,

And above all, It can't be imagined not to stay at a house of light this light program.
And in the first place, when Japanese houses started using fluorescent light, I didn't think that it may have been the beginning of a big, big mistake. As in the slogan "Bright National" during the high economic growth period, the lights were replaced with fluorescent lights from the house to the lights that light the town, to the point were the places that originally doesn't necessarily need to be lit are illuminated. As a result, even the one which got soiled can be seen clearly, the culture which will be changed immediately was born.

消費サイクルを激しく助長するようになった。またその白い光をオフィスで煌々と照らすことにより、人間を常に活動的にさせることにもなり、全体的には大きく日本の経済発展に影響を及ぼしたが、結果的にそれは幸せなことだったんだろうか？
センスがいいのわるいのという議論を聞くたびに、センスというのは文字通り感じる力のことなのだから、センスが悪いというのは、純粋に感じる力がにぶいということなのだ。そもそも感じる力がにぶいのに、センスが良くなりたいとはどういうことだろうか。

excessibly enhanced consumption cycle. Additionally using the white light glittering in offices made people always active. Overall it influenced hugely in the economic development of Japan, but at the end did it make people happy
Every time I hear the discussion about whether something has good or bad sense, sense literally means an ability to sense something, so bad sense purely means the ability to sense is dull. What does it mean when a someone wants to improve his sense, when his ability to sense something is dull in the first place?

センスが良いというのは、いいことだけとは限らない。感じすぎてしまって、それはそれで大変なことなのに。だからこそ現代社会はそうして感覚を閉ざしていないと、生きていくことができないのもまた避けがたい事実である。
光の館は、そんな現代社会を痛烈に批判するとともに、閉ざされた感覚を多少なりとも開くことができる場所である。

Having a good sense doesn't always benefit. Sensing too much can be so tiring. Therefore it is an inevitable fact that modern society needs to shut out such sensations to continue life.
Light of house is a place which severely criticizes modern society and at the same time to slightly open the closed up sensation.
