■Summary

"Halloween Cities of To-Morrow" exhibition concept
This place was once a swamp. Even after the land was formed, it remained a chaotic place where black markets and other businesses gathered. In current urban development, disorder is actively eliminated. The urban disorder that gets in the way of development is an existence that does not generate economic benefits for the land, and can be likened to a monster. "Shibuya Halloween" is one of them. Since around 2015, Shibuya Halloween has been attracting an explosive number of people. This chaos is the very process by which a festival occurs. What kind of town would emerge if festivals like this continued to be passed down over the years, undergoing repeated changes? This exhibition is organized around the theme of ``Future Shibuya where Halloween has become a folklore,'' peeking through a futuristic fixed-point camera located at a scramble intersection.

Born in Tokyo in 1994, currently enrolled in the doctoral course at Tokyo University of the Arts. I create video installations while thinking about the history and personal feelings behind folklore, which exists in every land, and why people have created it. Major exhibitions include “Study: Osaka Kansai International Art Festival “Unmanned Ark”” (Umekita SHIP Hall, Osaka, 2023), “GEMINI Laboratory Exhibition: Scenes of Debugging” (ANB Tokyo, Tokyo, 2022), “News From Atopia/ Atopia Dari” (Courtyard Hiroo, Tokyo, 2022), etc.

■What is Might Be Classics?

It looks at the ``past'' of Shibuya, Tokyo, and looks ahead to the ``future'', offering suggestions for how to live tomorrow.

What lies beyond that suggestion may become standard, common sense, or tradition 100 years from now.

Art that interests me, that kind of art,

This is a project.
