Neues Asahi
Finished

Artists

Toshio Sekiji
This exhibition takes a close look at our industrialized society, in which a wide range of byproducts surface as a result of the pursuit of convenience; whereas things that we have always conceived of as constant and unchanging, like nature, are on the verge of collapse. It also attempts to analyze the relationship of traditional values to industrialization over the course of history.

Focusing on National Highway 17, this exhibition questions what roads mean to our packaged lives of convenience. By examining the road that runs right in front of Neues Gallery from a different perspective, Sekiji offers viewers a critical look at today's society, readdressing the notion of traditional Japanese culture, and even human existence itself.
