Each site hosts an identical <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/concrete-architecture-and-design\/\">concrete<\/a><\/strong> structure, creating a paired <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/interactive-installation\/\">installation<\/a><\/strong> that connects the two through live and recorded <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/video\/\">video<\/a><\/strong> transmission.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mount Rokko was extensively quarried for granite during the Edo period, resulting in large-scale deforestation and environmental decline. During the Meiji era, deliberate reforestation efforts gradually restored the terrain. Today, the mountain carries the layered traces of both damage and recovery. Berlin, the artists\u2019 base, reflects a similar cycle of destruction and regeneration through its urban history. fernsehen, conceived by Riku Ikegaya + Kohei Hayashi + Yu Kamijo, situates itself within these contexts by installing twin cube-like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/sculpture\/\">sculptures<\/a><\/strong> in Rokko and Berlin. Each structure is punctuated by narrow tubular openings, recalling the form of telescopes. Within them, video devices project the view from the paired site: the Rokko installation displays Berlin\u2019s urban activity, while the Berlin installation transmits images of Rokko\u2019s natural environment.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of Riku Ikegaya + Kohei Hayashi + Yu Kamijo<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">fernsehen operates as both a perceptual device and a monument<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The recordings capture contrasting yet parallel realities. In Berlin, viewers see the passing of people, vehicles, and city rhythms. In Rokko, the images reveal vegetation, shifting weather, and animal movement. Together, these perspectives connect distant environments, framing the coexistence of natural and urban conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The work by creatives <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/riku-ikegaya.com\/\">Riku Ikegaya<\/a><\/strong> + Kohei Hayashi + <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yukamijo.com\/\">Yu Kamijo<\/a><\/strong>, highlights the act of \u2018seeing far\u2019 not only as a spatial connection but also as a reflection on shared futures shaped by climate change, urbanization, and environmental pressures. Through this mediated exchange, fernsehen positions itself as both an apparatus for extending perception and a monument questioning the role of vision in shaping responsibility and possibility. The title references the German word for television, fernsehen, literally \u2018to see far.\u2019 Its etymology underscores the duality of distance and mediation, framing the installation as an exploration of how perception, technology, and context influence the way landscapes are understood across time and place.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>fernsehen links Mount Rokko in Japan with Berlin, Germany<\/p>\n<p>twin concrete cubes form the paired installation<\/p>\n<p>each site hosts an identical sculpture pierced with narrow openings<\/p>\n<p>the structures recall telescopes aimed at distant views<\/p>\n<p>video devices project live and recorded images from the paired site<\/p>\n<p>the installation situates itself within the parallel narratives of Rokko and Berlin<\/p>\n<p>contrasting perspectives reveal shared realities across distance<\/p>\n<p>the work examines how vision bridges space and time<\/p>\n<p>the project operates as both a perceptual device and a monument<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>\u2018seeing far\u2019 becomes a reflection on collective futures<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Berlin audiences observe Rokko\u2019s shifting natural environment<\/p>\n<p>Rokko viewers watch Berlin\u2019s urban activity unfold in real time<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the installation engages themes of climate and urban change<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> fernsehen<br \/>\n<strong>designers:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/riku-ikegaya.com\/\">Riku Ikegaya<\/a> + Kohei Hayashi + <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yukamijo.com\/\">Yu Kamijo<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>materials:<\/strong> wood, plaster materials, brass pipes, video devices<\/p>\n<p><strong>dimensions:<\/strong> 2m (W) \u00d7 2m (D) \u00d7 2m (H)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/art\/twin-concrete-cube-sculptures-rokko-berlin-tiny-video-transmission-holes-riku-ikegaya-kohei-hayashi-yu-kamijo-09-19-2025\/\">twin concrete cube sculptures link rokko and berlin through tiny video transmission holes<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>fernsehen links Mount Rokko in Japan with Berlin, Germany \u00a0 The project fernsehen establishes a dialogue between two landscapes with parallel histories of extraction and renewal: Mount Rokko in Japan and Berlin, Germany.
