Dogo Mountain Morning

CONCEPT

Ms. Sakuhara is developing "Mountain Morning," a project in which people and things meet, get involved, enjoy the unexpectedness that arises, share joy, and create something new through mutual respect. As an interior stylist to visit Ehime for the first time, she wondered what she could do for this project, and the answer she arrived at was "styling”. She searched for, connected, combined, and expressed, from the perspective of an Ehime novice, the abundance of things handed down in Ehime, which is full of nature, and attractive things that are being newly created beyond generations and national borders.

Lu Yang × Naotaka Takahashi

Naotaka Takahashi, who empathized with the world view of media artist Lu Yang's works, met the artist in 2019, when her activities in Japan were increasing, and spent about 10 months creating this work. In 2020, Mr. Takahashi, who was awarded the title of "Contemporary Master Craftsman" and is responsible for the decoration of floats at the Niihama Taiko Festival, which is said to date back to the Kamakura period, injected the essence of his skills into the fire god of electromagnetic brainology. After exhibiting this work in Hong Kong and Singapore, it will finally be unveiled for the first time in his birthplace. This is the first traditional craft work for Ms. Lu Yang, who is also known as a film artist.
