Home brings Kono’s ongoing interest in intimacy into spaces that imitate domestic comfort while remaining fundamentally impersonal. Decorative motifs associated with warmth—roses, musical notation, the word “home”—circulate across fragmented installations and transferred surfaces, appearing worn, misaligned, or incomplete. These elements behave like borrowed language within temporary interiors, producing familiarity without attachment and comfort without shelter.

lost & found / everything considers ownership and recovery through spaces structured by belief and chance. The exhibition collapses origins and endings, moving from ground to shelter, from the earliest human encounter with land to the final standardized interior of contemporary life, where a bedside lamp marks the last site of presence. Drawing a parallel between séances and gambling sites, the works frame intimacy, possession, and recovery as acts of faith carried out within controlled environments, where outcomes remain uncertain and temporary.

Specter brings Kono’s practice into direct contact with horror as a condition that enters intimate space rather than remaining external or symbolic. Drawing on cultural memory, bodily sensation, and the persistence of the unseen, the works treat fear as something quietly present and embedded within domestic, familiar, or private environments. Horror appears not as spectacle, but as a form of closeness that collapses distance and exposes instability beneath comfort and rational order.
21 October – 12 November 2023
Spirit Heart Soul Flesh Body brings death, intimacy, and the body into a shared space shaped by suspension, gravity, and post-event conditions. The exhibition moves through moments where physical processes continue after subjectivity recedes, and visibility becomes partial, delayed, or arrested. Intimacy appears as something that persists beyond life, carried by material behavior and systems of record.
8 April – 8 June 2023
ill omen 3 unfolds through intuitive structures and recurring motifs that draw on dream states, belief, and anticipation. The exhibition holds a sense of suspension and low intensity, where materials and gestures accumulate without forming a closed narrative. Meaning emerges through atmosphere and duration, allowing fragments to remain unresolved while still held together.
17 February – 19 February 2023
East East builds an enclosed interior that feels wet and submerged without using water. The space changes through use, as the floor records footprints and movement over time, slowly forming a map of passage. Bodily fragments and surface treatments remain present without resolving into narrative, allowing the room to be experienced through contact, trace, and duration.

Only only makes sense if there’s nothing else consists of small beds made from plastic, burned until their forms soften, drip, and partially collapse. The beds are scattered across the gallery, breaking any sense of a single resting place and turning the space into something navigable rather than habitable. Sleep and shelter appear damaged and unreliable, shaped by heat and absence rather than comfort.
