‘In Japan, we are surrounded by sea, ocean and horizon,’ says designer Hideki Yoshimoto as we walk through Beyond the Horizon, his vast installation for Lexus which occupies Art Point at the Superstudio Più in Milan. Polished floor mirrors simulate a serene water vista and a row of ten towering black sculptures – ‘soldiers’ as Yoshimoto calls them – guard the installation, all of which is set against a large projection screen illustrating the horizon’s evolving panoramas from dawn to dusk.
