Golden week! Enjoy the experiential art “Chibamland Light Cutting Night Walk” in Minakami
*Let’s take a walk through the forest and buildings at the campsite in Minakami Town, which is rich in nature and where magic lanterns are projected with sound and images*
Continuing from last year, the campground “Chibamura Auto Campers Resort (formerly Takahara Chiba Village)” in Minakami-cho, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture will continue to present original video works, including a magic lantern space, created by light-cutting artist Atsumi Sakai. A magic lantern space that harmonizes with nature, created by composer and musical saw player Hajime Sakita, with music that incorporates the voices of local animals, the sound of water, the sound of wind, etc., and an experience of light cutting and music. We will be holding a type art “Night Walk” event. In addition, the small shop “Lincoln Marche”, which sells wonderful miscellaneous goods by local artists, and a photo spot, which were popular last year, will continue to be installed.

Chibaumland
Chibaumland is a coined word consisting of Chiba (Chiba village) + Baum (meaning tree in German).
A group of original video works including a magic lantern space created by the light-cutting artist Atsumi Sakai.
The music was composed by composer and musical saw player Hajime Sakita, and the music is based on animals that live in the area. We will specially create music that incorporates voices, water sounds, wind sounds, etc.
This project will bring new life to this facility, which has been loved by many people since the Showa era.
The works created based on the concept of “urban development” aim to coexist with nature for a long time.
Two artists create this with their passion.

■Overall production composition/video production
Light-cutting artist Atsumi Sakai
Born in Aichi Prefecture. After graduating from university, I worked on creating shadow pictures (cut pictures) as stage art for 10 years. During that time, I immersed myself in the expression that combines “light” and “cutting pictures” and discovered various kinds of papercutting pictures of light.
It goes away. One of the paintings, named “Ichiganikyo” (two surprises in one stroke), was created by the impact of light. Create paper cutouts that change into two different expressions depending on how you hold them. Also, “Moving Picture Book” movement and story.
In addition, the picture book-like video work and “Magic Lantern Space” depict cut-outs of light on sandy beaches, snowy fields, castles, etc.
Projecting cutouts of light onto various spaces in the world, it creates a richly varied and colorful world.
