Business Overview
A two-person exhibition by art artists Asako Ishizaki and Konomi Kobayashi was held. Kobayashi is an artist who creates works that evoke the imagination from small stories that are less than a story, and Ishizaki uses sculpture, video, and performance to create works that start from expressing the strange reality he felt when he saw landscapes. In the joint research of Shibuya prior to the exhibition plan, Kobayashi said that his recent interest is that his dog's tail looks like a palm tree, and while Ishizaki looked for an analogy such as "it looks like something," he focused on the noisy elements of the environment, steep slopes, and gaps that are close to being able to enter, as well as the city. It's a scrambled experience, with both eyes mixed up along the way. Kobayashi, who looks for palm tree-like features in the landscape, and Ishizaki, who looks for physical spots like a skateboarder does tricks on the road, have created a space for their movements that somehow intermingle with each other while carrying out different actions.
