18, Murata is pleased to present Pictura super Pavimentum, a duo exhibition by Shiho Saito and Miki Morioka, held at TRIANGLE, the exhibition space inside TOGA AOYAMA.
"Pictura super Pavimentum," takes its title from the Latin phrase meaning “painting on the floor.” The exhibition explores the intersection of visual art and bodily perception, daily life and institutional systems, memory and spatial experience.
Saito presents paintings made with Japanese Washi paper, acrylic, and silkscreen, displayed alongside everyday domestic elements such as shelves, wallpaper, and desks. Through these arrangements, she visualizes the unexpected encounters that arise when artworks are placed in intimate, lived-in spaces. Morioka, on the other hand, focuses on the physical and mnemonic experiences shaped by religious and educational institutions, creating installations rooted in the foundation of the environment—the floor.
In this exhibition, paintings and floors, gazes and footsteps, the act of display and the rhythm of everyday life come into play within TOGA, a space designed to present clothing. The show invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between artworks and the spaces they inhabit. Here, paintings are not only hung on walls; they emerge through the viewer’s movement, quietly returning our gaze from the ground beneath our feet.
