“Please couple up. If you don’t have a partner, wait here for one to find you.”
Experience Lemon Hotel by following such directions such as these.
This is neither a flat nor a three-dimensional work. If it is to be considered an artwork at all, it is in the slight buzz of some kind of distant memory it stirs in the heart and mind of the viewer.
Lemon Hotel is an experience, but also accommodations for one group each day.Our guests will be prepared fresh island food with a twist of lemon. The next morning, they will awaken bathed in a pale yellow light, as if that of cloth plant-dyed with Teshima Lemons.
Works
Here, we ask two people to pair up romantically.
If you are without a partner, please wait here for one to find you♡
If you really can’t find a special someone,
A platonic pairing will do.
Just make sure not to go alone.
Once you have paired off, pick up an audio guide to share And put headphones on one another.
Push “1” and follow the flow of directions.
In the Lemon Photo Studio, in a room vegetable-dyed yellow by Teshima lemons, you will do a “Cheeky Lemon”. Your selfies as a couple, Instagrammed #cheekylemon, become the artwork itself.
