Business Overview
Installation artist (euglena) and architectural design unit Shu Ha Re: collaborated to create a new work. This exhibition is a fusion of text, minerals, flat works and space. In the experience of moving through a space divided by a thin cloth, the viewer moves deeper into the space while reading the text. Sometimes minerals placed between sentences appear linked to the story like illustrations. By the time you finish reading, you arrive at a flat work with no clear outline and an open space with soft light. This exhibition is composed of a text on “hypnosis, ” a round mineral that seems to be made of clay, a flat work covered with thin Japanese paper that shows a soft image, and a space with the theme of“ half sleep, half wakefulness, ” and offers viewers an experience of “a journey of the mind. ”.
