Delirious Design

portrayed by Satoru Toma is a place where silence has again found its place, and where the nature discreetly takes back possession of its meaning. The objects seem to drown slowly into time, without rushing. It looks like being inside this apparent void, and we would like to hear the breeze whispering through the leaves. We also think, for a moment, to know our fate, to be able to fix it while we watch the subtle movements of the ivy on the grey asphalt. A naive thought that we shared with the Japanese photographer. «This amusement park, located in Germany, is in a state of abandonment since the beginning of the century, for safety reasons and for the sudden economic changes. I am deeply attracted by this world in which reality goes through a time that seems to run parallel to ours. It is this gap of time which pushes me to react. What fascinates me is not only the attractions but also the relationship existing between the nature and objects. A nature that is left to grow, invading the spaces. Spaces where I can imagine what happened and what will take place. This sense of place and time encourages me to move through photography. Today, all places seem rationally organized by man. My project develops a personal interest for what avoids this logic. “Akichi” in Japanese means just that, free land, uncultivated, unoccupied ground. It is an endless free space. The marginal landscape, or the urban wi (via urbanautica)
