Technology as a whole must become the technology of art. And the state must become the museum of its population. Just as the museum’s administration is responsible not only for the general holdings of the museum’s collection but also for the intact state of every given work of art, ensuring that the individual artworks are conserved and restored when they show signs of decay, the state should bear responsibility for the resurrection and continued life of every individual person.

"Lost and found" traditionally refers to a space for storing misplaced items until they can be reclaimed by their owners. The exhibition draws inspiration from the concept of lost property, exploring themes of retrieval and possession.

‘ Amfortas! Die Wunde! Die Wunde! Sie brennt in meinem Herzen! O, Klage! Klage! Furchtbare Klage! Aus tiefstem Herzen schreit sie mir auf.
Oh! Oh! Elender! Jammervollster! Die Wund sah’ ich bluten.

‘The unmasking turn of mind’’ does not try to refute ideas, but to harm them by exhibiting their ‘‘extratheoretical function.’ (HACKING, IAN. The Social Construction of What? Harvard University Press, 1999.)

The title of this exhibition, "archetype," and the atoms used as motifs are not about their original universal roles.
In the process of painting composition, he seems to affirm the dynamic and perverse nature of the "archetype" by starting from the inversion of power relations in the painting.

Give the public free access to the memory and data banks (Lyotard, Jean-Francois. The Postmodern Condition. Manchester University Press, 1984.)

 Death is an intensely personal event, yet the body enters a realm of anonymity post-mortem. There exist liminal spaces, moments neither alive nor dead—akin to crossing the River Styx or approaching the Pearly Gates.

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the honor of kings is to investigate a matter. (Old Testament: Book of Proverbs 25:2)

The gesture of cutting up food on platters and serving it to visitors overlaps with the composition of this exhibition, which represents the broken up watchtower from various angles.

The wind is rising! . . . We must try to live!
( Paul Valéry, Le Cimetière marin, 1920.)

The sea has been dividing something, however, simultaneously, it can seem to include everything.
Intermittent flashes of isolation and inclusion floating on the sea allure us.

They say, “He was the most beautiful young man I have ever seen,..” but the detail is not specifically described, but is omitted. Similarly, it has been noted that omissions are made regarding the emotions of the characters in the fairy tale.

While, sofvi culture today has moved away from reproductions and imitations of characters, machines and animals, and more and more sculptures are arising from the narratives of the individual artists, and Tanimura’s production is not exceptional. The Toy Shop, a window display of actual toys and advertising materials by Pop Art stalwart Peter Blake (b. 1932), stirs a longing for the past.

In this age of reproducibility and abundance of images, the meaning of each representation itself has become radical, fragile, and unstable. The speed of those seemingly muddled and elusive images sometimes collide, leaving semantics behind, but there is always tension in the relationship among them.

Japanese tropes such as Yōkai, ghost stories, nature, festival masks, and mosquito nets are distributed in space along with disturbing and provocative way which are dressed by violence and humor.

“What truly drives fear into my body is the possibility for my imagination to amass physical weight.
There is the low gurgle of water rising in a bath somewhere nearby.
My body has not made contact with any water in quite some time.”

Various harmful toys that were denied in the process of being familiar in a safe and rational social life, are not allowed to have them, and are destined to be forgotten in one corner of history.
