This room is a spatial art piece by Haruna Kawai, who’s body of work is typically expressed in paintings of simple three-dimensional objects.
 
In addition to its formative appeal, one of the main features of this work is the way in which it is staged so that visitors can feel the rich changes in natural light and shadow that accompany the passage of time.
 
The centerpiece of the work is, as the title of the room suggests, a sizable column that towers over the room. At first glance, this inorganic pillar has no decoration, but in a room full of natural light, it never stays in the same color, brightness, or shadow, and its expression changes from moment to moment.
 
The texture of the plastered surface and the asymmetry of the designed space enhance the appearance of the changing light and shadows and their transformation.
