Exhibition Details

Pachi pachi: a guided tour of my mind

Artist: Kiral
Venue: PARADISE AIR, Hamatomo Building Stairs (MAP)
Kiral focuses on themes of “pachinko machines, the future, and the universe” in her research and creative work. Located above the Pachinko Parlor Rakuen in the Hamatomo Building, PARADISE AIR hosts the artist. The staircase linking the pachinko shop and PARADISE AIR serves as the venue for showcasing progress on Kiral’s ongoing short film, “The Age of _.” We invite you to explore the creative process behind the artwork.

What We Cannot Leave Keeps Waiting

Artist: Wantanee Siripattananuntakul
~~Venue ①:Honcho Yashima Residence (6-3 Honcho, Matsudo City MAP) *21st only~~
~~Venue ②:PARADISE AIR 7F (MAP)~~
Starting Point: PARADISE AIR 1F (MAP)
Wantanee explores themes of “Akiya (abandoned houses), housing issues, and economic disparity” in her research and creative work. Her journey began with discovering the differences in abandoned house situations between Thailand and Japan. Through interviews with property owners in Matsudo and research trips to Kyoto and Osaka, she has deepened her understanding of Japan’s Akiya issues. This time, using an actual Akiya as a venue, she will exhibit several videos and materials inspired by her research findings.
*Only one venue on the 22nd. Adjustments will be made to display videos from both venues (① and ②) from the previous day.
*On the 22nd, the exhibition will also be held at both venues. Please start by visiting PARADISE AIR.
