ENESS Art and Technology Studio：墨尔本艺术与技术工作室制作的 Iwagumi Air Scape 是一件占地 4900 平方米的艺术品，是将荒野带入城市，向自然世界致敬的巨大宣言。这 16 个充满空气的充气装置——最高的达 13 米——在熠熠生辉的天际线的映衬下，仿佛山野之景奇迹般地降落在都市河岸之上。

ENESS Art and Technology Studio：Iwagumi Air Scape by Melbourne-based art and technology studio is a 4900 square metre artwork – a mammoth statement about honouring the natural world by bringing the wilderness to urbanity. Sixteen air-filled inflatables – the tallest up to 13 metres high – have been arranged against the glittering skyline as if a mountainscape has miraculously touched down on the shoreline.

Iwagumi Air Scape 向日语“Iwagumi”（意为“岩层”）致敬。日本传奇水族造景大师天野尚（Takashi Amano）开创了一种只使用岩石的全新水族造景形式，他称之为 Iwagumi。这种造景方式模仿了自然的岩石形态，体现了日本人对于自然和简朴的热爱。

Iwagumi Air Scape pays homage to the Japanese word ‘Iwagumi’, which translates as ‘rock formation’. Legendary aquarist, Takashi Amano pioneered a new form of aquascaping using only rocks which he called Iwagumi. This form mimics natural rock formations – an expression of the Japanese love of nature and simplicity.

Iwagumi Air Scape 充气装置上布满了错综复杂的岩石纹理，呈现出超乎寻常的视觉观赏效果，这 16 个充满空气的气囊仿佛变成了数千吨重的岩石。​

Iwagumi Air Scape is covered with intricate rock textures, achieving an additional optical feat, whereby the 16 air-filled inflatables are transformed into what appears to be thousands of tonnes of rock.

为了增加人们的感官体验，设计团队在错综复杂的岩层中还设置了裂缝，让人有机会在长达 10 米的充气岩石中挤过去，就像穿越真正的峡谷一样。

As an additional sensory experience, crevices have been created throughout the intricate formation, creating opportunities to squeeze through the inflatable rocks along sections as long as 10 metres, as if traversing a real canyon.

伴随着鸟叫声、夜蛙声、蟋蟀声、猴子和蝙蝠的叫声以及山涧潺潺的溪流声等音效，营造出了一种极具沉浸感的微妙环境。当游客在装置中穿行时，每块“石头”都会随机触发不同的音效，为整体听觉体验增色不少。

在岩层深处，附近街道的声音穿透寂静，进一步强化了城市的广阔和现代生活对自然的影响，借此提出了我们与现代世界中荒野的关系的问题。

The accompanying soundscape creates a highly textured and subtle environment including sounds of birds, night frogs, crickets, monkeys, bats and mountain streams. As the audience moves through the installation each rock triggers different sounds randomly adding to the overall auditory collage.

In further reinforcement about the expanse of cities and the effect that modern life has had on nature, deep within the formation, nearby street sounds penetrate the silence, posing the question about our relationship with wilderness in the modern world.

夜幕降临时，一些“岩石”会像余烬或熔岩一样发光，令人联想到岩石本身的诞生。

At night-time, individual rocks glow like embers or molten lava evoking notions about the very birth of rocks themselves.

岩石在人类文化中占有独特的地位。巨石阵的神秘岩石蕴含着巨大的精神力量。许多艺术家和艺术爱好者都受到这些自然形态的启发，在河流或海滩上创造出神秘的卵石矩阵；而孩子们则常常情不自禁地收集石头，将其作为游戏的一部分。

这件艺术作品试图将和谐、不朽与敬畏感带入城市之中，让我们重新与大自然和地球产生根本性的共鸣。

Rocks hold a unique place in human culture. The mystical rocks of Stonehenge carry great spiritual import. Many artists and art enthusiasts are motivated by these natural forms; creating pebble formations in rivers and beaches; and children often compulsively collect rocks as a part of play.

This work seeks to bring harmony, monumentality, and a sense of awe into an urban experience, reconnecting us with a fundamental resonance of nature and the earth.
