We humans, unable to endure nihilism, have spawned many “monsters” as complements to our broken instincts. Has the “beautiful world” we have longed for been realized? Monsters” act as if they own the world, and foolish wars and conflicts are still going on in every corner of the world. This exhibition is a small uprising from the frontier, from the standpoint of an individual, using art as a circuit. An installation of materials, words, and environment to illuminate the “future” will be exhibited at Gallery YUYAMA.
