Yokoo Tadanori: Haunted Museum
We often feel afraid of the unknown. This feeling is inextricably linked with curiosity, triggering the ambivalent emotion of wanting to look at something while at the same time fearing it.
Yokoo Tadanori has shown a consistent interest in things that are invisible or that cannot be explained by science. This is closely connected to his childhood experiences in his hometown of Nishiwaki. Utter darkness of a kind that would be unthinkable in a city, and Yokoo鈥檚 numerous mystical experiences are strongly reflected in his illustrations, including those that he created for the Complete Works of Edogawa Rampo, and the paintings that he has made since his 鈥減ainter鈥檚 declaration.鈥�
In this exhibition, we consider the relationship between art and fear through a diverse range of Yokoo鈥檚 works.
