Overlooking the sea and activated by the sun, the Enoura Observatory is an exquisite collection of new buildings, antique architectural fragments, and historic stone artifacts, curated by the world-renowned photographer, and self-styled designer, Hiroshi Sugimoto. Like the artist’s signature images of misty seascapes and mysterious movie house interiors, many of these elements evoke another time. But together they anticipate a future when, Sugimoto envisions, the buildings will topple, nature will grow wild, and the site will become a ruin for future generations to discover.
