Tomokazu Matsuyama to Participate in “Midnight Moment” in Times Square, New York

From April 1 to April 30, 2026, Tomokazu Matsuyama will participate in “Midnight Moment” in Times Square, New York, where his latest video work, Morning Again, will be screened nightly. 

Midnight Moment is the world’s largest and longest-running digital public art program. Synchronized nightly from 11:57 PM to 12:00 AM across more than 96 digital displays spanning 41st to 49th Streets, the program brings public art on a monumental scale to New Yorkers and visitors from around the world, 364 nights a year. 

Morning Again emphasizes four key elements—hope, rhythm, self-expression, and transformation—rather than depicting specific figures. These abstract motifs unfold as shifting shapes, glowing light, and vibrant hues that mirror the city’s pulse. The work highlights how diverse cultural energies intersect and overlap, creating a shared urban identity. In a time marked by uncertainty and division, Matsuyama’s installation quietly affirms diversity and individuality while suggesting the possibility of moving forward together.
