– Casa Wabi 2020

Community Project

Human Sun – Secundaria Calmecac, Puerto Escondido
The project focused on showing a group of students how to make a sundial using the human body to mark the hour of the day. Many sessions were imparted to talk about the history and evolution of the different designs and formats that sundials had throughout history. The clay pieces were also made during these sessions so that it could be later installed in the green areas of the high school.

    Minami is interested in how people perceive the world through sight and hearing and in the cognitive mechanisms involved. Based on the empirical study of his surroundings, his work emphasizes the audio visual experience of the artist’s immediate environment through audio and visual material, computer graphics, animation and installation work. He considers all these media and materials as part of our cognitive architecture, of our experience of the world.
