Three artists who actually love Yokohama made this instead of a corporate monument. It feels like standing in a place that matters to someone, watching them remember it quietly. Stop motion, still photography, a composer who knows how to let silence breathe, each piece holds the weight of a hundred years without ever announcing it.
Three separate stories unfold within Yokohama's most iconic landmark, the Red Brick Warehouse, as the city celebrates a century of its architectural treasure. A stop motion animator, a photographer, and a composer have each crafted their own vision of what this historic space means to those who call it home. In "Chat," two figures share a quiet moment among the bricks and echoes. "Once Upon a Time in Red Brick Warehouse" reaches back into the past, revealing secrets held within these walls across generations. "The White Seamew" captures the restless energy of the harbor itself, where the city meets the sea. What connects these three vignettes is something harder to pin down than plot or narrative arc. It's the feeling of a place that has witnessed countless lives pass through it, that holds memory in its mortar and possibility in its empty spaces. Each artist brings their own sensibility to the material, creating a portrait of Yokohama that's intimate and sprawling at once. For viewers drawn to atmospheric storytelling and the quiet poetry found in architecture and urban spaces, this trilogy offers three different doors into the same beloved building.
