It is currently being held at Sapporo Factory in Sapporo, Hokkaido, until November 24, 2025. ■ Comments from the Planners and Producers ・Pear Thirty years have passed since Masanori Kashimura published “The Complete Disappearance Manual,” and 15 years have passed since Frank M. Ahearn and Eileen C. Horan published “How to Disappear: Erase Your Digital Footprint, Leave False Trails, and Vanish without a Trace.” It seems the world isn’t changing so easily. ・Tonbana Seitaro (Yami Co., Ltd.) Five years ago, for example, such a theme would never have been accepted or appreciated by so many people. I feel that in recent years, the groundwork for “culturally enjoying unsettling emotions” has definitely been cultivated, and I am pleased that this exhibition has helped further promote this trend. May the world be filled with many wonders. ・Tokio Omori (TV Tokyo Corporation) The Missing Exhibition was born from a deeply personal feeling of “somewhere other than here.” It was an attempt to name the subtle absences that one suddenly senses in reality. It is deeply moving to receive this recognition in the form of the ACC, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved and to all the visitors.
