In this exhibition.
WRAPPED FUTURE II by Lim Sokchanlina (Phnom Penh).
Untitled, Satoshi Hirose (Milan)
The exhibition will feature two works.

Our future, unspeakable anxiety and frustration, an ever-changing environment.
Through the works, the artist looks the current situation and digs up the seeds of individual thoughts and feelings.
The seeds suggest the possibility of a link to our future, in which the seeds will one day be separated into many different parts, yet intricately intertwined to form a community.

▼Artist Info

HIROSE, Satoshi
Born 1963 in Tokyo, lives and works in Milan. Based in Italy, he has participated in numerous exhibitions in Japan, Asia, Europe and other parts of the world. The creative principle of Hirose’s work is based on a transdisciplinary imagination that links different cultures and things across boundaries, and his attempts to transform invisible concepts into visible ones are consistent in his work. She has been involved in a long-term project with mothers and children at a mother-child living support facility for 19 years, as well as an art project in recent years in which she works with local people to circulate materials used in exhibitions.

Lim Sokchanlina
Born 1987, lives and works in Phnom Penh. One of Cambodia’s leading artists, Lim Sokchanlina continues to contemplate the boundaries of things and spirit. Lim continues to work across documentary and conceptual practice, using photography, video, installation and performance. He looks at the various socio-geopolitical and environmental changes in Cambodia in relation to the world and reflects them in his artistic expression.
