坂本龍一さんのインスタグラム写真 - (坂本龍一Instagram)「“This installation depicts the various appearances of water through falling raindrops, the generation of ripples, and changes in sound. Data of the weather from certain seasons and regions in Asia was converted into droplets, sound changes, and low frequency waves, which then appear as varied ripples on the surface of the water filling the center of the space. A fundamental substance for supporting life, water possesses special properties within the natural world. This work is a visual and aural expression of water through sequence control, and a device that creates the effect of freely falling rain with large amounts of water. Water changes its state from ice, water, to water vapor depending on the temperature. We will never grow tired of observing the various natural phenomena that water produces, such as rain, clouds, fog, snow, seas, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, icebergs, glaciers, etc.. In addition, about 70% of the surface area of this planet is covered with water, 70% of our body is made of water, and it is also a source of life.” - Ryuichi Sakamoto …  「水滴の落下と波紋の生成、音の変化によって水が見せる様々な表情を描きだすインスタレーション。アジアの一定期間・地域の天候データが、水滴の落下と音の変化、低周波へと変換され、空間中央を満たす水画には様々な波紋が浮かび上がっていきます。生命を支える根源的な物質であり、この自然界においても特殊な性質を持つ水。本作では、大量の水滴を自在に落下させる装置とシーケンス制御によって、水そのものの視覚的、感覚的な表現を提示します。水は温度によって氷、水、水蒸気と、その様態を変える。水がつくり出す雨、雲、霧、雪、海、河、湖、滝、氷山、氷河などの自然現象は、どれをとっても、いつまで眺めていても飽きることはない。また、この惑星の表面積のおよそ7割が水に覆われ、私たちの身体の7割が水でできており、生命の源でもある。」一坂本龍一 Installation view, water state 1, 2013, Ryuichi Sakamoto + Shiro Takatani, ‘seeing sound, hearing time’, courtesy M WOODS HUTONG, Beijing, 2021.
