This is Miwa Yanagi’s first solo exhibition in ten years. Yanagi has been active in both contemporary art and performing arts since the 1990s. Yanagi became famous through her series of photograph works including My Grandmothers and represented Japan at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009. In addition, she started her theatrical projects around 2010. The outdoor theater, which took place in various places in Japan since 2016, used a trailer made in Taiwan. This exhibition covers her previous works as well as a series of new photograph works featuring peaches based on Japanese mythology. A mythical world will also appear in the gallery using a machine produced by the “Mobile Theater Project,” a collaborative project with universities and other institutions.
