In this beautiful large-scale multi-channel installation — which consists of an over 10 meter long table, several video monitors and projectors — the artist brings praise to life through a scene of a banquet held for a senior military officer. This is a must-see!

35mm B & W film version of the work Backyard – Hey, Sun is Rising! (13 mininutes) will be shown every Sunday (it will be screened with a DVD player on all other days).

The Hara Museum will be closed between December 28 and January 4 for year-end holidays. We look forward to seeing you after January 5 next year. Happy Holidays!
