Way of Life, Studio Kura

Artist Residency Exhibition

23- 24 December 2017

There are numerous shrines and temples at Itoshima, traditional customs are deeply rooted and carry out in their daily lives. The origin or meaning behind have been ambiguous or lost over the millennia, but yet the locals continue to uphold these cultural practices beyond its meaning or religion; a sense of peace from habitual rituals, communal interaction, holistic inner peace - religion of Life;  Way of Life. The elevated space was specifically chosen for this installation art. Climbing the stairway and passing through layers of "paper scrolls" (tori gates) allow the audience to cross the boundary line between real and the tranquil world into the inner meditative space.
