Takamatsu City Shionoe Museum of Art Special Exhibition "orm Solo Exhibition: Interwoven Phases – Interwoven Rooms"
Artist unit orm, based in Takamatsu, Kagawa, presents a solo exhibition themed on "tracing," featuring the video work "Dream of Sand" and other pieces.Summary
The artist unit orm (Ohm), formed by Tomoya Fujii and Chikaya Takahashi and based in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, creates works across diverse media centered on familiar everyday phenomena and social identity. This exhibition presents works themed on "tracing." The word "trace" encompasses multiple layers of meaning, from the physical act of following an object's contour with one's fingertips to the thought of overlaying distant memories or others' existence onto oneself. The core video work "Dream of Sand" (2026) is inspired by "The Dream of the Flute" (1913), included in Hermann Hesse's collection of fairy tales "Märchen." The work reinterprets from a contemporary perspective the "unease that peaceful daily life may waver" and "inexplicable strangeness" that drift through the original, launching it as a new narrative. The exhibition also features works using diverse approaches, exploring the concept of "tracing" from multiple angles throughout the space. The exhibition runs from December 12, 2026 (Reiwa 8) to February 7, 2027 (Reiwa 9) at the Takamatsu City Shionoe Museum of Art Special Exhibition Room. Admission is 300 yen for general visitors and 150 yen for university students.
