75,000 Patterned Paper Kites Cascade in Jacob Hashimoto’s Largest-Ever Installation

Jacob Hashimoto's latest exhibition, "Giant Arc," at SFMOMA features his largest installation to date, comprising nearly 75,000 kite-like elements made from bamboo and Japanese paper.

The installation creates a vibrant "cloud canopy" that cascades from the ceiling, with ripples of color and pattern stretching wall to wall, clustering, repeating, and nearly touching the floor.

The monumental work's appearance changes throughout the day as sunlight interacts with the gallery lighting.

Hashimoto aims for the installation to evoke wonder and joy through formal compositional elements like contrast, hue, and repetition, allowing visitors to find personal meaning, mysteries, or narratives within the work.

"Giant Arc" will be on view at SFMOMA's ground floor gallery until mid-2028.
