 In 2005, Yamagata proposed a large-scale holographic recreation of the destroyed statue of the Buddha at the Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley, Afghanistan.The proposal included using solar energy saved during the day to power a laser installation after sunset, and was projected to cost $60,000,000.In this year, he showed his laser installation at a gala party which held at Geffen contemporary museum in L.A. Also, Yamagata participated in a collaboration event of laser installation and electrical music, “METTRIPPIN” and presented his work, “Theory Six.” He also participated in the “Earth, Water, Fire and Air Festival” in the Castle in Cape Town, South Africa where he experimented in a pentagonal shaped castle, installed nearly 200 mirrors and reflected laser all around the building and the city.
