Kato Takashi's exhibition 'Nonono Nonono Matsuri' at Ichihara Beach Art Museum presents video installations that explore local stone monuments and war memories. Over four months of fieldwork, Takashi created new works by visiting over 70 stone structures in the area, including horse-headed Buddhist statues, child-deity statues, and war memorials. The exhibition includes video installations that depict natural and human elements intertwining, such as sunlight, waterfalls, and tunnel-like spaces, while also reflecting on regional history and contemporary life. A map of the locations of the stone monuments is also displayed, highlighting overlooked historical sites and their layered significance.
