◆ Art Director’s comment
"This year's P.O.N.D. is the theme of "SIDE BY SIDE BY SIDE". For example, when people appreciate one piece of work, they have different thoughts and feelings. From the other hand, the work in which various people have different thoughts and emotions is one work. I received a story at the beginning of the key visual production.
So, as a creator, I used one hand of my daily production to create images of my hands in a few different environments, and proposed them as key visuals.
Some of my hands that have become the key visuals are my own hands, and at the same time, multiple hands with different impressions in each image.
In addition, in digital signage production (video production), Daisuke Hasegawa and Takumi Bando of Daisuke Hasegawa Studio reinterpreted the images of my hands and made the video.
SPATIAL DIRECTOR
