Towards the Exhibition | Koyuki
The beginning was when I visited Akihiro Yamaguchi's solo exhibition in January this year with Kocoro Katoh. The venue was a house in Fussa, scheduled for demolition. After experiencing the atmosphere and air of the place, we were invited to do something together there.

Exactly one year ago in March, the three of us held a joint exhibition called 'Hello World', and now we are holding another exhibition together after a year.

The Message We Want to Convey
This exhibition is a joint display by three artists.
Centered around the word 'here (being here)', each artist will present their expression.
Akihiro Yamaguchi will exhibit an application that allows visitors to experience the meaning of 'here' through their choices. It's an experiential installation where each choice leads to a different outcome. Other works aligned with the concept will also be displayed. Experience the 'here' created by the act of choosing.
Kocoro Katoh observes the meaning of 'here' from a step back, creating an installation that subtly hints at the presence of something from afar. Carefully search for the whispers throughout the space.
Koyuki creates works inspired by the first impression of the word 'here' and the space 'HOUSE', focusing on the theme of 'traces of memory'. By feeling the 'traces' left after people have gone, the exhibition aims to make you realize 'here', being here once again. Enjoy the works as if picking up fragments of forgotten memories.
Three unique interpretations of 'here (being here)'.
We look forward to your visit.
