By questioning what is in front of us and removing unnecessary filters, we can create new interpretations. Specifically, photographer Kohei Kawatani's huge photographic works, and objects of "something human" by Masaomi Todoroki, will transform the exhibition space into an extraordinary space.
The second half of the exhibition will feature a VR solo exhibition by Julian Opie, one of the UK's leading contemporary artists. The artist has been vividly expressing the world in the form of people and cityscapes with minimal expressive language, but this time it should be a new challenge. Customers will wear VR goggles and experience eight different exhibition spaces.
