Business Overview
In addition to the presentation of works by young artists from Japan and South Korea on the theme of "family" from the perspective of queers, the exhibition features a series of related events featuring talks by experts in various fields, including queer cinema researchers, family law researchers, and Korean film directors. To be a husband, to be a father, to live with loved ones and have a "family." Amid a society that cannot help but feel uncomfortable with these extremely simple wishes, three artists who were born and raised in Japan and South Korea in the early 1990s, respectively, use various techniques to express the "family image" they envision. Through a wide range of genres, including sculpture, photography, and documentary film, these questions about new ways of living in the family and about the current society do not only resonate with queer people, but also with the current situation that many people are facing.
