Business Overview
Through the exhibition of performances, objects and video works that focus on the tactile experience of objects, this project presents a new mechanism of expression for encountering non-humans and others. The current crisis of pandemics, wars, and natural disasters surrounding us calls for an attitude that considers how humans relate to other and non-human beings. In this project, the participants will try to experience the feeling of embracing to touch all beings through the romantic play with puppetry and musical instrument playing. Based on the concept of an object theater where humans and objects interact with each other, the exhibition was composed of visual works, objects and performances that interact with puppets and objects.
