“Ophelia has a Dream” MEDIA AMBITION TOKYO 2014
WOW will display the installation work “Ophelia has a Dream” a collaborative work with MIHARAYASUHIRO at “MEDIA AMBITION TOKYO 2014 (MAT)” which is the show case of cutting-edge technology art. It was exhibited at Carrousel du Louvre for Paris Fashion Week. The motif, the 19th century painting “Ophelia” by Sir John Everett Millais, was photographed by Paolo Roversi, and then implemented into a visual installation. Through “shadow” interaction, we pursued an expression whereby the audience crosses between reality and imagination, like the world of “Ophelia” where life and death coexist.
Moreover “Pre Raphaelites: Victorian Avant-Garde” is also being held at the moment at Roppongi Hills 52nd floor. At this exhibition you can appreciate authentic “Ophelia” come from the Tate Museum in the UK. “Ophelia” - painted by Millais that caused sensation in conservative British art world by sensational way of expression. And “Ophelia has a Dream” - which was re-designed by high technology of present time.
This is the rare chance you can experience each era’s cutting-edge art piece at the same time.
This will be on display as a special exhibit from Monday, February 10th to Tuesday, February 25th on MAT’s central walkway. Please visit and enjoy.
