タテにズラす目線

狭くて平面的な距離が取れないことは良くも悪くもあるが、人との関係でいうと、より密接になるか、より煩わしくなるか、願わくば距離感を自ら調節したい。

飲食店の話でいえば、隣とは適度な距離感が欲しくもなる。近い密接がいい場合もあるが、ある程度ゆっくり静かに食事をしたければ離れたい。

離れたくても離れられない、広さには限界がある。ならば、目線をタテにズラす。平行な目線が交わるのは同じテーブルにいるもの同士で、隣との距離感は目線が交わらないので少し隔たりができる。この隔たり感をつくり出す行為は距離感を取る行為よりも空間の見え方に変化をもたらす。

"Looking at the vertical"

It is good or bad that you cannot get a narrow and flat distance, but in terms of relationships with people, you want to adjust the sense of distance yourself, whether it will be closer or more troublesome.

Speaking of restaurants, you also want a sense of distance from your neighbors. Sometimes it's good to be close, but if you want to eat slowly and quietly, you want to leave.

There is a limit to the size that you cannot leave even if you want to leave. Then, shift your eyes vertically. The parallel lines of sight intersect with each other at the same table, and the sense of distance from the neighbors does not intersect, so there can be a slight gap. The act of creating this sense of separation brings about a change in the appearance of space rather than the act of taking a sense of distance.
