Memories deposited on cloth are transformed into sounds and shapes according to the environment, and visitors themselves can bring changes to the works as a part of that environment. The five artists participating in this group exhibition are Revier Rebecca, Kenta Tanaka, Yuki Hittano, Keita Miyashita, and Miyon Eden, all born in the 1990s and all from different fields.
In the work “Memories Between Threads,” which was designed by Rebecca, woven by Hittano, designed by Miyashita, and composed by Tanaka using the emotions evoked by Miyon’s photographs as a motif, the events experienced by the cloth are woven into the sound. The environmental sound changes as nature and people come into contact with the cloth and its shape shifts. The sound is produced by the glass speaker work “presence,” which is made of driftwood traced on stones and other natural objects to create a unique sound.
Hittano’s “Lumpy” is designed as a three-dimensional structure in which objects are “wrapped” by combining multiple weaving patterns. The structure formed by the cloth makes us intuit that the cloth was wrapping something inside, but what that something was is left to our imagination. The characteristic holes in the cloths, the thickness and curvature of the cloths themselves, and the shapes of the objects are remembered, leaving gaps in the dreamscape.
“We Met Some Blue Dragonflies”, a group of photographs taken by Miyon, is a poetic project that focuses on cloth in the relationship between the body and the environment. The work asks how cloth, which has become a part of daily life, behaves in nature and in the city, and what kind of memories and emotions the shape of the cloth evokes.
The sound environment of the entire exhibition space is constantly sensed, and Rebecca’s work “Dialogue” responds to the sound, causing its shape to rise. The natural wind shakes the cloth and produces sounds, and shapes are created in response to those sounds. Humans can also intervene in the forms, and visitors can experience a small dialogue between nature, machines, and humans.
Located in Maruyamacho, Shibuya, Sta. is geographically unique, but it is also a place that has been edited into a variety of spaces, such as a restaurant, bar, and gallery. In Sta., this exhibition takes as its starting point the cloth that surrounds people in daily life, allowing viewers to experience the memory of people and cloth as sound and shape, and to glimpse the perspective of “environment” in a broad sense.
