This exhibition is the 8th installment of the exhibition series “Unknown” curated by independent curator Chika Kato.
Taking “image” as its theme, the series unfolds as a sequence of solo exhibitions by five artists — Ayaka Yamamoto, Nozomi Suzuki, Asami Shoji, Nami Yokoyama, and Midori Mitamura — held across two venues, void+ and HIGURE 17-15 cas.

Video Work “organ”

At void+ the space is divided into two rooms.
One room serves as the screening venue for the video work, showing Ayaka Yamamoto’s very first video piece.
