Reopening Inaugural Online Project
SIDE CORE x Yokohama Museum of Art: KAIROS
Overview
The Yokohama Museum of Art has re-emerged after its first major renovation, spanning about three years, since opening in 1989. To document the transformation of the building at this major milestone in its history, we worked with artist collective SIDE CORE to film it with a 360-degree camera from 2021, the year the renovation began to 2025.
The video offers a behind-the-scenes look at the museum while it was hidden behind a construction enclosure during renovations, showing interior spaces before and after renovation. SIDE CORE invited the multinational artist group TOKYO ZOMBIE, musician KOM_I, and artists Moriyama Taichi and Kikuchi Ryota into areas of the museum that could not ordinarily be accessed. As they interacted with the evolving architecture throughout the three- year renovation, they also experienced personal growth and reached new stages in their lives. These participants play the role of guides, marking the passage of time during the museum's long-term closure.
This marks SIDE CORE's first project using 360-degree video, and delivers fresh perspectives on the museum's transformation that only artists could offer. Please do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this unique work during its limited-time online release.
