BEYOND THE HORIZON, Milan Design Week

2024

BEYOND THE HORIZON

 

At Milan Design Week 2024, LEXUS presented an exhibition titled “BEYOND THE HORIZON,” featuring music composed by Keiichiro Shibuya. The spatial design was crafted by Hideki Yoshimoto, who created a massive screen measuring 4 meters in height and 30 meters in width using Echizen washi, a traditional Japanese paper with over 1,500 years of history. The screen displayed ever-changing lights resembling a horizon, creating a dynamic visual experience.

The exhibition also featured ten interactive sculptures, each approximately 2 meters tall and adorned with washi, with each sculpture exhibiting a unique expression of light.

Keiichiro Shibuya was responsible for the music, creating a new work based on his sound installation piece “Abstract Music,” specifically tailored to fit the concept of the exhibition. The soundscape, generated in real-time by programming from vast sound data, moved fluidly between 31 speakers placed throughout the venue. This created a continuously evolving audio experience, ensuring that no two moments were ever the same.

The combination of the changing horizon from dawn to dusk, the guiding presence of the “LF-ZC” and the ten sculptures, and Shibuya’s “Abstract Music” came together as a unified experience, offering a unique, personal, and immersive journey for every visitor.
