Kiwa
Pavilion “Labyrinth”, Museum Insel Hombroich, Neuss, Germany
How do we situate ourselves in nature?
Isn’t nature always also a human construction?
These questions are particularly relevant in the artificial idyll of Museum Insel Hombroich.
The Kiwa Project by Tomoko Mukai explores the relationship between human-made environments and nature,
creating an immersive experiential environment within the Labyrinth.
On two weekends, there will be a performance by the artist Sachiko Nagata.
Wie situieren wir uns in der Natur?
Ist Natur nicht immer auch eine menschliche Konstruktion?
Diese Fragen stellen sich besonders in der künstlichen Idylle des Museums Insel Hombroich.
Das Kiwa-Projekt von Tomoko Mukai erforscht die Grenzen zwischen menschengemachten Umfeldern
und der Natur und schafft dafür im Labyrinth eine installative Erfahrungsumgebung.
An den Wochenenden findet eine Performance der Künstlerin Sachiko Nagata statt.

Exhibition
A panorama projection and an installation are composed in two locations within the precincts of Tochoji Temple.
The panorama projection consists of cityscapes and riverbeds photographed with different long-exposure times in the dark.
The installation consists of fragmental texts derived from dialogue and thoughts in the fieldwork
and stones collected by shooting as an installation at the urban water’s edge.
This exhibition will be shown to the public for three days only as if it were an accumulation of soil flowing from upstream.
A public talk will be held during the exhibition.
