Minori Murata
This exhibition featuring Minori Murata, combines interactive art and visual art and poses the question, "What is a sustainable and abundant life?"
Influenced by philosophical comedy dramas such as "The Good Place" and the "Trolley Problem," this exhibition, based on Murata's personal contemplative experiences in London, explores the question of "What is a sustainable and abundant life?" from the microscopic perspective of ants, inviting visitors to contemplate alongside. Additionally, visitors will have the opportunity to make rice balls at the venue and create a sound of Queen Ant's displeasure by offering them.
Murata's work has transitioned from experimental pieces centered around faith, such as "Gods and mom believe in you" created in 2020 as part of the "Stealable Art" project, to ethical perspectives. In this exhibition, using ants as a metaphor for humans, Murata satirically explores the richness of human activity.
While "What is a sustainable and abundant life?" may seem like a grand question, the focus here is on whether an individual feels rich or not, suggesting that a continuous series of momentary experiences that make an individual feel rich can make society as a whole sustainable.
During the opening event on March 8th, there will be a performance by the artist Kom_I, and on March 12th, an artist talk will be held at Super Dommune. Additionally, throughout the exhibition, a collaboration piece titled "Beautiful News" with video artist Hiromu Oka will be on display at the venue.
