100 Tonson Foundation is delighted to invite you to experience 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒅: 𝑷𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝑰𝑰𝑰 いづこへ / 𝑰𝒛𝒖𝒌𝒐-𝒆 / 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒐?, the concluding chapter of the collaborative exhibition by Wit Pimkanchanapong and living room for seed. The exhibition opens on 17 October 2024 and continues through 24 November 2024. We hope you’ll join us in exploring this introspective journey of planetary coexistence of self-reliance, and endemic wisdom within Infinite Maze, a multi-dimensional installation developed by Wit Pimkanchanapong. This final stage culminates in the thought-provoking question, "𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒐?"

When we stand at the critical threshold of life and death, our sensitivity, which had been closed in our daily life, may open up, and there we might realize what we have forgotten. Social systems falter, and in the chaos that arises from multiple origins, life and death intermingle. We are drawn into the fluid space between the unconscious and the conscious, compelled to feel, think, and experience anew.

In our current reality, people around the globe face unprecedented climate disasters—floods, fires, and storms. Each morning brings news of conflicts claiming countless lives, even threatening the use of nuclear weapons. At this critical juncture, we reflect on the lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011, when entire cities and thousands of lives were swept away in hours. This was a pivotal moment for each artist involved—a starting point for new paths to emerge. Where do we go from here?

Standing here now, we face infinite openness. The maze before us, seemingly leading somewhere, becomes a grain of planetary seed—a step toward interdependence in this vast openness.

𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝 < planetary coexistence of self-reliance > is a process-based project aimed at evoking and interweaving worlds and realms that are often difficult to see and feel in modern times. It stems from several years of research into the endemic wisdom of Thailand and Japan, as well as dialogue between Wit Pimkanchanapong and living room for seed, in collaboration with communities across both countries. The multi-layered programme includes works such as Letters from the Sages, collaborations with the university and local communities, children's workshops, and talks, curated and organized by Kayoko Iemura and Tyuki Imamura.

Join us on Saturday, 26th October 2024, from 16:00 - 18:00 hrs, for 𝐀 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊: いづこへ / 𝑰𝒛𝒖𝒌𝒐-𝒆 / 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒈𝒐? Engage with participating artists and practitioners from living room for seed, including Wit Pimkanchanapong, Ryusuke Kido, Kayoko Iemura, and Yusaku Imamura, as they share insights into this compelling project.
