Business Overview

From 5/30 to 6/2, it was open to the public in the hollow of the studio. It is a space composition that includes visual hallucination stories with the theme of scars and weathering, performances, images and plastic works. Surrounded by skeleton-like beams and rails, the sound on the ground can be heard dully. An underground space reminiscent of a cave or a body was designed as a scar in the town of Ikebukuro, and the scenery in which pieces of each small project were assembled was observed until it was dismantled again through the inflow and outflow of visitors. The various seemingly disparate motifs (Insects, colonies, letters, holes, eyes, dances, earth, sun, etc.) connected by “scars ” and“ weathering ” were superimposed on the image of memory and its disappearance, and while repeating experiments, ideas by various makers were gathered and presented as a work of only 4 days.
