About the artwork

This 3.5 kilometer long installation recreates the long-ago course of the Shinano River with some 600 yellow flags. The river, which used to describe a serpentine course, has been transformed by dams and the paving of its banks with concrete, sharply affecting the volume of water it carries and the ecosystems it now supports.
