lost and found / everything


    “Lost and found” traditionally refers to a space for storing misplaced items until they can be reclaimed. The exhibition draws inspiration from this idea, exploring themes of retrieval and possession.

specter


    The exhibition title stems from a wall-spray piece Kono created in 2021 at the darkZone space in New Jersey: “俊雄 was here.” 俊雄 (Toshio) is a character from the Japanese horror film Ju-on. Kono’s fascination with ghosts and spirits forms a romantic response to feelings of powerlessness in reality.

    What happens to something when it becomes wet?      Maybe the truth about wetness is love.      At its core, wetness resembles a process of self-division that ends in unification—like cellular folding: steady and resigned at once.

ATK/0 DEF/10000


    A speculative world built around ancient talismans, bone cards, and runes—objects left behind by elders whose practices blur hunting, magic, and sleep.      Their meaning has faded, but their lingering presence shapes the rhythms of daily life.

only only makes sense if there’s nothing else


    A meditation on language, transmission, color, and distance—moving from damp rags to dye, from phone calls to physical presence, from substitution to telegraphy.      A study of communication in the partial absence of one another.
