Noritoshi Hirakawa
Standing Pine Tokyo is pleased to present "Himmelstrasse," a solo exhibition by Noritoshi Hirakawa from Saturday 1st November. First presented at Art Basel Hong Kong in 2024, the titular large-scale installation will make its Japan debut in the gallery space in Tokyo. The central piece of the exhibition is a dark, wooden lodge containing photographs and a sound installation. The photographs were taken in the guardian forest of a Shinto shrine in Fukushima that was affected by radioactive contamination following the Fukushima nuclear accident of 2011. The soundscape features the soft ringing of dorei, the traditional clay bells used in Shinto rituals, mixed with the faint voices of children living in Fukushima today. Upon entering the lodge through a small doorway, viewers are immersed in a meditative world that invites reflection on the present and future of Fukushima and the lives of the children growing up there.
