Walk on Water at 'Zero Meter Above Sea Level' Art Installation Exhibit by Ryo Yamada

近期，日本札幌Hokkaido现代艺术博物馆内展出了日本艺术家和建筑师Ryo Yamada的艺术装置——海平面上零距离。

该艺术装置建造在场地原有的海平面上。在80万年到100万年前，艺术馆所处的札幌Ishikari低地原是一片海洋，而艺术装置正是要展现这个事实。

装置有2.1米高，由一些碎木做成的细柱支撑着。作者故意让作品看起来很脆弱，但实际上这个31米长的平台能同时承载10个人。

Japanese artist and architect Ryo Yamada has recently unveiled Zero Meter Above Sea Level, an artwork installation at the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art in Sapporo, Japan.
Constructed at exactly the primeval sea level of its location, the installation helps to visualize the fact that about eight hundred thousand years to one million years ago, Sapporo City—in the area of the Ishikari Lowlands, where the museum currently is located—was covered by ocean water.
The piece sits 2.1 meters above the museum floor, held up by thin columns made out of scrap wood purposefully giving the exhibition a fragile look. However, at any one time, the 31-meter-long floor installation can hold up to ten people.

通过这个装置，参观者能够想象一百万年前的海洋。Yamada说：“这个装置展现出人类的历史相对于整个自然来说仅仅是很小的一部分。”

Through the installation, visitors should be able to envision the ocean while walking at the level it used to be a million years ago. The installation “shows that the history of mankind is just a moment compared to Mother Earth" says Yamada.
