"unpeople + 14 people" VAGUE KOBE

The exhibition "Shuta Hasunuma "unpeople + 14 people"" will be held at VAGUE KOBE from Saturday, October 12th to Sunday, November 10th, 2024. The solo album "unpeople" by musician/artist Shuta Hasunuma was released in October 2023. The album's 14 tracks inspired the creation of 14 artworks and products in various media.

The exhibition will feature photographs by Ikeya Riku, who also designed the album artwork, graphic works by Tanaka Seri, a video work themed around the uninhabited world titled "unpeople" by Shimizu Hana, a video work titled "Emergence" by ucnv, and an audio piece featuring poetry readings by Osaki Sayaka performed by Joanna Tagada Hofbeck, Jatinder Singh Durhaylay, and Lemon. Also on display will be a fragrance based on the concept of Yamanobe Yoshiko's song "Postpone," a choreographed drawing by Hasunuma himself based on instructions for a choreographed drawing based on Hara Saori's song "Fairlight Bright," a work by Shinozaki Emi of edenworks combining floral sculptures with natural stones, glass works by Yamano-Andersson Yoko, and a collaborative work between Toshiki and Bang & Olufsen. This exhibition will bring together for the first time works created by a diverse range of artists, locations, and media from Japan and abroad. In addition, a new ambient music piece by Shuta Hasunuma will also be released.

Shuta Hasunuma's latest work, "unpeople," which explores the medium of music from multiple perspectives, has transcended the album format to include live performances across the country and has developed into an exhibition of works derived from the song. After touring POST (Tokyo), BO/OK (Nara), and Bookstore Seiki (Fukuoka), we hope you will enjoy this exhibition, which has now developed even further.
