At the group exhibition "Moon and…“ curated and organized by art curator Saori Iino, at Shimokitazawa art event "Moon Art Night 2025", Tokyo.
Two Halves Don't Make a Whole, Moon Base and 639 Hz brought me to Shimokitazawa Moon Art NIght 2025 in Tokyo, where I was invited to participate at the group exhibition Moon and... curated by Saori Iino, at the Shimokitazawa House Gallery.
This is no typical gallery project, the exhibition venue is a large old house near the train station, scheduled to be torn down next year-so this is a truly unique setting for the show, where the artists attempted to „save - recycle- upcycle - anchor“ what is now, but will no longer be later…; all the voices - traces- shadows that were in this house once upon a time, but will not be forever after…
This unique exhibition brings together artists exploring themes of the moon and the cosmos through painting, installation, photography, ink painting, digital art, and more.
I am participating with my photograph: „Moon Base“, textile work :„ Two halves don’t make a whole… „ and sound „639Hz from my Siren Odyssey Compilation“
”Moon Base”… “The human form set against the moon’s magnified “skin” is crossed by a procession of brightly colored muons—cosmic particles that pass through walls and bodies”.
In a child’s room slated for demolition, the trace of humanity - a human figure, faces the moon while muons gather like guests—reminding us that even our safest rooms are porous to time.
The human form set against the moon’s magnified “skin” is crossed by a procession of brightly colored muons—cosmic particles that pass through walls and bodies.
Shown in a child’s room in a house that will soon be torn down, „Moon Base“ braids tenderness with impermanence.
The home is temporary; the particles are perpetual. What we call shelter is only a brief slowing of the universe as it moves through us…
Two halves don’t make a whole…
encompasses a moon hemisphere built from global hand-made lace, stitched from many homes—held together by the gravity of care.
Voids in the lace read as craters and stitches map invisible tides. This piece once lived on a body or within a home setting—domestic constellations are now reassembled into a celestial one…
Shown inside a house that will not last, the work: „Two halves don’t make a whole“ ties fragility to endurance, and shows us that there is something greater that makes up the essence of a „whole“, than simply bringing together two halves of a moon…
