Flower artist Azuma Makoto has explored the beauty and potential of flowers and plants through numerous forms of expression. While he has created innovative installations such as monumental Botanical Sculptures around the world, he also engages with the transformation of flowers from bloom to decay through video works and even produces animations for children. Throughout these activities, he continually confronts the infinite possibilities of flowers and the preciousness of life. Since around 2018, his interests have expanded to the internal structures of flowers, leading him to embark on a challenge into unknown realms through X-ray imaging. This exhibition showcases the film originals captured during X-ray photography, as well as videos obtained through CT scans.

Algiers were asked to perform two shows during the opening days of the exhibition at The Kyoto Shimbun Building.

This is a trailer for a longer form documentary project which is in production.
