“Death Clock” is completed by audience participation. “Counting in you” and “Changing time with changing self” take simpler approaches to involving the audience by using mirrors. Emotional messages are attached to these works. These pieces are seen in contrast to the minimal LED digital counter works.

His message hasn’t changed. His approach has. He faces his own life in “Death Clock”. He touched others life in “Counter skin”. And he expresses life itself in “HOTO”

Miyajima has keeps proposing to the audience through his works. Then he spread his field to public art. But it wasn’t enough for him. Now he started to walk toward his audience, imagine and create with them in this real world. “Tatsuo Miyajima | Art in You” is showing his path. It is the documentary of Miyajima’s change.

Miyajima’s approach is changing. Because he has found whom he should propose for. Miyajima says “I want to create for young people. I’m feeling it stronger year by year. I want to propose miracles about life”.

In this show, many workshops have been held and a lot of students have participated. And in front of his works, countless people come and stop one after another to listen to his message.
