Oiwa Island 2 Oscar Oiwa
Expanding on his work previously created for the 2013 Triennale and housed within a gymnasium on Ibuki Island, “Oiwa Island 2” will be installed within a building once used as a soy sauce warehouse. The audience will be allowed to walk inside the work of art: essentially a massive, 360-degree drawing made with black permanent marker on a 40-ft diameter inflatable vinyl dome. It’s located on Shodoshima.
New sections were added to the drawing, which will depict sky, forest and a small cottage on the sea shore. At this point we can only imagine the odd sensation of arriving on an island, walking into a soy sauce factory (which leads to the door of the cottage) and then suddenly being immersed in a black and white island.

Client: Hi, I know your helpdesk shift ends at 6 PM but the CEO is having a meeting at 9 PM because of time difference, and we need your help.
Me: Sorry, but unfortunately we are only able to assist during work hours.
Client: Well, it’s urgent and this is a huge meeting with all the executives. You need to make a plan to assist him.
Me: What assistance is required anyway?
Client: Well, we’ve got all the details but we just need someone to physically dial the number on the phone.
Me: I don’t understand. It’s a normal telephone, right? Can’t the CEO just dial the number? I don’t understand why assistance is required.
Client: No, someone needs to be there to dial for him. He doesn’t dial.
I did what any sane person would do in this situation: whipped up a handy document called “HOW TO DIAL A TELEPHONE” and left work at 6 PM.

The Colors of Iran, with Photojournalist @sinashirii
For more of Sina’s work from Iran, follow @sinashirii on Instagram.
“This is closer to real life,” says Sina Shiri, (@sinashirii), speaking of his approach to photography. “In Iran, most of the documentary photography is black and white, but I prefer to work in color.”
Using a borrowed camera, Sina began working as a photojournalist at the age of 16, making pictures for a student-run news agency in the city of Qazvin. He now pursues self-assigned projects, and describes his intention to change the perceptions held by the outside world.
“The cliché photos, they usually show the limitations of Iran, like the hijab, the covering of women, the hardship, or the limitations. I don’t want to show only the limitations. I want to show that Iran is a different country than what you are seeing in photos.”
Now 24 years old, Sina acknowledges the challenges ahead.
“There are many photographers in the world, there are many photos on the Internet and people’s vision is getting better and better. The competition is high and you have to provide photos that can satisfy people’s taste, this new taste of people. This makes the job difficult. I have to educate myself to learn how to do it.”
