Overview

"Go home, look up."

Landscapes are influenced by the geographical characteristics, history, politics, and economic circumstances of the land, and reflect the tastes and thoughts of those in power and its citizens. Although "landscapes" often become the background in everyday life, by looking at them again, we may be able to see the distance between ourselves and the city, which we do not usually recognize, and the roots of ourselves and our mothers. This exhibition attempts to explore universal everyday scenes by focusing on "sceneries on the way home" and "sceneries to look up at."
