* “Flowers as They Are in a Field” *
In recent years, the world has been losing the “original landscapes of the Earth.”
Globalism and neoliberalism are sweeping the world, and urbanization is progressing worldwide, transcending the urban-rural divide, creating homogeneous landscapes everywhere.
This extends to the so-called countryside, where once-respected local cultures such as nature and indigenous materials are being neglected by modern principles that see them as exploitable.
In this exhibition, we will be exhibiting works that will help us, who live in such a time of crisis, once again regain the “earth’s original landscape” and visualize “the earth as it should be.”
Ubsnant advocates a “comprehensive art” that consistently creates spaces, architecture, sculptures, products, photographs, videos, etc., and is greatly influenced by the tea ceremony, one of the oldest “comprehensive arts.”
The title “As flowers grow in the field” is one of the “Seven Rules of Rikyu” in the tea ceremony. This means that it is important to remind people of the situation.
Speculating on the “ideal state of the Earth” where local culture and modern life coexist, we created “spatial fixtures” with motifs of somewhat familiar objects such as noren, stop stones, barriers, doors, folding screens, and shoji screens.
piece)”, we will create a space where you can feel nostalgia in your body even though you are in the city.
According to each Ubusna (place of origin), flowers are in the field, materials are in their place of origin, and people are in their hometown.
We hope that the “earth’s original landscape,” which is
disappearing, will coexist with the lives of all visitors.
