即使在外浦海岸，木之浦湾亦属特别美丽，因而为人所知。突出于本州的能登半岛与位于其前端的珠洲具有特异性，对此颇感兴趣的艺术家在海岸上设置三件名为“Infinity”的雕刻作品，以45度的角度收集并反射来自天空的光芒。“Infinity”是始于2001年的系列作品，本次为该系列的第43件作品。作品包括数学和物理学的要素，而作品的成型则是来自作为艺术家创作根源的科幻、宇宙、网络等。

Kinoura Bay is known as being a particularly beautiful place on the Sotoura Coast. The artist is interested in the uniqueness of the Noto Peninsula, which juts out from Japan’s main island of Honshu, and Suzu, which is located at the tip of the peninsula. He will install three “Infinity” sculptures on the beach resembling transmitter and receiver devices that collect and reflect light from the sky at a 45-degree angle. This is the 43rd work in the “Infinity” series, which Deacon started in 2001. The sculpture contains mathematical and physical elements. The roots of the artist’s production—science fiction, space, and networks—shape the work.
