Alternative Paradise is an exhibition which covers various subjects in a bid to question the value of "industrial arts" in the context of modern art as a whole. For the exhibition's icon, we sought a visual form which would evoke mental images drawn from the viewer's own rich imagination, without including any symbolic message. The icon presents a mysterious floating effect, and acts like a stepping-stone to somewhere else, an invitation to the senses to explore hitherto undiscovered territory. It evokes an atmosphere of "one more," or "the next," by illustrating something that has not yet taken place. Another special project called "T-room" takes up the idea of "Tsukubai," a stone wash-basin in which the hands and mouth are cleansed; here we worked with people such as Kengo Kuma (architect), Toshio Iwai (media artist) and Naoto Fukuzawa (product designer) to interpret the tea ceremony in an up-to-date way. Water tumbles from a height of 12 meters in the form of transparent beads, disappearing into small square holes called "hosun" in the centre of the "tsukubai" ("hosun" is a Zen term referring to the mind). If you look closely, you will see how each step of this cleansing process unfolds.
