"Monument for Nothing - Red Torii Gate" by Makoto Aida (Naoshima)

One of the most interesting artworks in the Naoshima New Museum of Art was created by Makoto Aida especially for the museum. It is the latest iteration of his "Monument for Nothing" series, which he started in 2008.Subtitled "Red Torii Gate" for obvious reasons, it will be difficult to talk about, not least because photographs are prohibited.However, I found a loophole... I did find a loophole, but because there are almost no pictures of the artwork online—not even on the official website—and because I don't want to anger the people at Benesse, I have to leave this post behind a paywall. I'm sorry if you're not a paying member. However, if you find my work on this site valuable and can afford it, now is the perfect time to become a paying subscriber. 🙂
