Solo show by the artist known for her installations using materials the likes of string, cloth and water to integrate the surrounding space, that take as their themes the continuity of life on earth and the universe. Naito’s ‘one at a time’ viewing method of her work caused a stir at the 1997 Venice Biennale. At the 2008 Yokohama Triennale she presented an installation in a teahouse with a plastic string suspended from the ceiling that fluttered as air heated by a small brazier circulated. This show takes as its title a passage from Georges Bataille’s Theory of Religion and features mainly new installation works.
