James Tapscott's mist arch over ancient Japanese bridge
Australian artist James Tapscott created 'Arc Zero', a mist arch installed over an ancient bridge at Hotokizaki Kanonji temple in Omachi, Japan. Commissioned by the Japan Alps Art Festival, the piece generates a 360-degree rainbow by day and a black hole-like effect with lights at night. Tapscott describes his work as exploring the relationship between subjective and objective reality, using simple materials and light to balance ritualistic art processes with natural phenomena.
