Reiwa 4 (2022) 4th Startup Grant
Business Overview
After graduating from a local art college, he moved to Tokyo last year. After living in the city for a year, I realized the huge difference between rural areas and urban areas. There is everything in Tokyo that is not found in the countryside, so you hardly feel the need to leave Tokyo, and almost everything you do can be completed inside. Not only things and things, but also experiences, economy, art scene and culture circulate inside. Of course, they also exist in rural areas, but the difference in density and speed is clear. These "points" of the region and the city are connected and made into "lines," and by crossing them, the "surface" emerges. Between these two points, which can be easily traveled by car or train, various elements are scattered, and the fact that they are both urban and rural is one component of the plane. I feel a big invisible border on such a surface. In this project, two people who studied art in the countryside will create and exhibit based on things such as "place" and "movement," and search for an opportunity to let the air flow out from the center of Tokyo.
