What did we feel when society was upended by the lockdown? In an uncertain world, we reflect on our small selves amidst the vast landscapes. This exhibition features works by Fang Wei (painting), UMA (performance), Chu Chu (installation), Tanigawa Mine (lacquer art), and Yamaguchi Ryotaro (ceramics). An essay by the curator, Kanazawa Kodama, who was living in Shanghai at the time, will also be on display.
