The exhibition will feature these precious photographs, presented as new prints and projections, alongside works by Wakae spanning from his early pieces to recent installations, as well as multiples by Beuys owned by the Kasuya Contemporary Art Museum, offering an overview of the artistic trajectories of both artists. Various related events, including gallery talks by Wakae and performances, are scheduled during the exhibition period.
