“Green Room Project” by Sakao Koichi is one of the participating artworks of ETAT2021. The artwork continues to evolve by inviting people to participate and contribute. Launched in 2006, the artwork was created by the artist who desired to make a room surrounded by “greens” so that local people could navigate through a long, harsh winter. Like leaves in nature which constantly change and produce new leaves, “Green Room Project” has also evolved by adding new leaves to date. As if it responds to nature which continues to be in action despite the current pandemic, the project aspires to continue and grow resilience to the pandemic. We look forward to your participation.
