The Japanese artist Tatsuo Miyajima, whose installation Arrow of Time (Unfinished Life) (2016) is on show at New York’s Met Breuer, is making a work to honour the victims of the earthquake and tsunami that struck the Tohoku area of Japan in 2011 and triggered a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant. He is planning a “gigantic installation” in the region, entitled Sea of Time in Tohoku. “This will be a participatory project with [the] bereaved families. I wish to construct a building on a hill, looking over the sea and the deceased spirits,” he says. The time frame for the piece is unconfirmed.
