The exhibition “RYUICHI SAKAMOTO + SHIRO TAKATANI AMBIENT KYOTO-TOKYO”, organised by 〈AMBIENT KYOTO〉, which is based in Kyoto, centering on the theme of ‘ambient’, comprising ‘sound’, ‘art’ and ‘space’ will open on August 28th, Friday 2026.
This exhibition will present the work ‘async - immersion’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Shiro Takatani at the Azabudai Hills Gallery in Tokyo’s Minato-ward, which was first exhibited in 2023 in Kyoto at ‘AMBIENT KYOTO 2023’.
It will be the first opportunity since ‘AMBIENT KYOTO 2023’ to experience the massive 26.4 metres wide screen which is in the same scale as the one used in ‘AMBIENT KYOTO 2023’, with the spatial audio system specially designed for this particular venue. As with the previous exhibition, the Sound Director is ZAK, who is known for his work on Ryuichi Sakamoto’s later pieces.
Please experience the world of ‘async-immersion’ at the Azabudai Hills Gallery in 2026 with your whole body, an overwhelming experience made possible by the luxurious space of a standalone exhibition, and the special work created by the unity of music, visuals, sound, space and the attending visitors.
