Tony Oursler’s First Major Solo Exhibition in Japan Opens July 3 (Fri)! What are the highlights?
Over half of the exhibited works are being shown in Japan for the first time!
Tony Oursler is an artist known for his mysterious immersive installations combining video, sculpture, sound, light, and language.
A pioneer who pioneered the expressive style of projecting images onto three-dimensional objects, such as video installations and projection mapping, he has persistently and sharply questioned the complex relationships between images and narratives, technology and human psychology, belief systems, and society.
