Once upon a time- exactly one hundred and fifty years ago, to be precise- the Japanese pavilion presented itself for the first time as one nation during Vienna's World Exhibition. "Once Upon Now 1873-2023" (OUN) is a performative video and sound installation from the artist Johanna Riedl, based on this 150th anniversary.
For this occasion, the installation "OUN" brings forward a contemporary position, functioning as a platform for intercultural exchange. As a pavilion of togetherness placed in Tokyo, the installation plays with different shades between cultures while operating on the "what ifs" to blur the dualism between the West and East in a globalized age.
