Yuriko Sasaoka's Paradise Dungeon @ Shiga Museum of Art
Summary
The Shiga Museum of Art is holding the first solo exhibition by Yuriko Sasaoka, an artist active in Shiga and internationally, titled "Yuriko Sasaoka's Paradise Dungeon," running from January 17 to March 22, 2026. Sasaoka creates video installations exploring the boundaries between painting and video, reality and fiction, and life and death, utilizing elements like puppetry, low-tech CG compositing, and self-made songs. The exhibition traces the evolution of the relationship between video and character in her work, showcasing important pieces from her career, including her first video work and award-winning installations. A major highlight is the premiere of her new installation, "Taimatsu," a kaleidoscope-style video over seven meters wide, created in collaboration with local facilities. Related events include gallery talks by curators, a special talk featuring Sasaoka, and a workshop for children.
