As a first attempt for this project, a dedicated screening room will be set up within the exhibition space, presenting video works in a format reminiscent of a small film festival. Long-duration works and highly documentary-driven pieces—often difficult to view in their entirety within a conventional art exhibition—will be screened. Fuyuhiko Takata will be featured with seven works, spanning from earlier pieces to recent productions.
