Can we see our entire \u201cbody\u201d at one time? This would be difficult if we include invisible parts such as the inside of the body. There is a notion that humans form a single image of their physical frame by connecting the parts of the \u201cbody\u201d that we perceive in fragments. In this exhibition, our newly acquired works by Onagi Yoichi, who has created parts of the \u201cbody\u201d in vivid colors and on bold scales, Fukuda Miran\u2019s Who\u2019s Sleeve<\/i> (2015) and other works will be introduced. Through these artworks, the \u201cbody\u201d that we so casually interact with in our daily lives will be reconsidered. <\/p>\n
