unpeople POST

The exhibition "unpeople" commemorates the release of musician Shuta Hasunuma's new solo album "unpeople," and is a collaborative exhibition with photographer Riku Ikeya and graphic designer Seri Tanaka.

The three parties began collaborating to create a work as part of a project to release Hasunuma's digital single in September 2022.
For this exhibition, Tanaka was inspired by the album title "unpeople," which evokes a sense of human absence, to create an image in which no one is present, yet there remains the feeling that someone may have been there. Meanwhile, Ikeya captured the changes in the environment that occur around a room's window over the course of a single day. Similar to Hasunuma's life's work of field recording, this could be seen as a practice of capturing changes over time in the same place from multiple angles.

This exhibition tells the story of "unpeople" through Ikeya's photographic works, which will be included as the album's artwork, Tanaka's spatial composition, and Hasunuma's sound piece, which examines the relationship between place and time through sound. Through the connection between the media of fragmented sound and photography, viewers are able to sense the absence of humans and find their own position, thereby creating a perspective on the environment created by humans and beyond.

POST will be selling the "Special Edition unpeople LP Box" in advance of its general release. Take this opportunity to enjoy the exhibition and the music of the new album, which has arrived early.
