Konoike Tomoko’s first large-scale solo exhibition in Tokyo. In addition to large-scale paintings, sculptures and animated films and their original drawings, the artist also presents a new twelve-panel fusuma painting. ‘Inter-Traveller’ is a term Konoike coined to indicate a plying of two different worlds and straddling the border between them.
