We would like to present to you a photography essay centring on Mind Trail, divided into three chapters, each focusing on a different location in Nara Prefecture: Yoshino (吉野町), Tenkawa (天川村) and Soni (曽爾村).
Taglined “Museum in your mind”, Mind Trail was produced by Seiichi Sato (齋藤精一), representative of the art and design company Rhizomatiks, and curated by Akio Hayashi (林曉甫) of inVisible. An outdoor art festival held in the autumn of 2020, it utilised the vast and beautiful natural landscape of Nara as its exhibition site.
In the first part of this chapter, you will find a visual documentation of our journey before we ventured deeper into the forests and mountains of Tenkawa, where we encountered unexpected landscapes that seemed almost otherworldly, presented in the second part.
