Hunsand Space / Hangzhou, China
Dec 23, 2023 – Feb 25, 2024

Hunsand Space (Hangzhou) is delighted to present the first solo exhibition in China by Japanese artist Taka Kono. The exhibition's title originates from a wall-spray piece the artist created in 2021 at the darkZone space in New Jersey, USA: "俊雄 was here." "俊雄"（Toshio）refers to a character from the famous Japanese horror film "Ju-on," and Taka explores his fascination with ghosts and spirits, essentially providing a romantic response to the feeling of powerlessness in reality.
