Summer 2018. Tokyo has become a giant building site in the run-up to the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Behind the ambitious buildings' facades, an even more far-reaching transformation is unfolding: the city is being digitised, inhabitants and all.

The human "heart". It has no reality, and we don't know where it is. What is this "heart" that is supposed to be important for human beings, but is full of mysteries?　In this work, the artist explores the location of the "heart" by photographing and editing subjects that the artist's own "heart" has "naturally" chosen. The story of this work does not yet exist. Will the artist's "heart" start to develop a certain story as he continues to take photographs day after day in an idle manner?　This is an experiment to see how the viewer's "mind" will move to decipher the story through online.
