Susumu Matsuura
I create artworks by reconfiguring daily sketches and photographs into prints, with the aim of recording human emotions and behaviors. In recent years, my work has incorporated many elements from my daily life, and I intentionally create paintings that reflect the themes of "private" and "boring."

Yoh Nagao
Yoh Nagao
After building a career as a graphic designer and illustrator, he began his career as an artist. In 2012, he moved to Berlin, where he is currently engaged in fieldwork to build close relationships with local communities, driven by his deep interest in ethnology and cultural anthropology. He has traveled around the world, including Namibia, Mexico, Mongolia, and India, and the knowledge and experiences he has gained from these journeys are reflected in his work. He is currently based in Nagoya.
This exhibition will feature collages that reconstruct objects and tools that are taken for granted in modern society, and are based on the theme of "future indigenous peoples." Through his unique artworks that skillfully use fashion magazine clippings and other materials, he challenges the authority of art.
