In Kazutomo Suzuki's practice, the simple act of sharing time and space with someone – or something – becomes the artwork itself. The Japanese artist creates installations that make encounters with other people, everyday objects and domestic spaces unavoidable. In an age of increasing disconnection and division, his work rethinks our relationships through co-presence, foregrounding the experience of simply being together. Suzuki's installation A Lighthouse was at the centre of the Mujinto 100FES a music festival, held on Nishijima in the Ieshima Islands of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan. It functioned as a "lighthouse" for those who gathered around it. Installed on a beach by the sea, the work drew people toward it through light and sound. “They faced the people in front of them, spoke about themselves, listened, came to know one another, laughed, and cried," the artist recalls. "At times, they simply felt the wind, listened to the waves, remained silent, lay down, or played music. Their very presence continued to transform the space of the work.”
