Ryuichi Sakamoto's Media Performance

This is "Ryuichi Sakamoto's Media Performance" (2023) by Shigeru Matsui and Koji Kawasaki .

Focusing on the year 1984, which Ryuichi Sakamoto calls "the first year of performance," this exhibition will explore the footsteps of an artist who continued to innovate "media" throughout his life.

The publishing company "Honhondo" as a media strategy, the performance using the medium of books themselves, the media event "TV WAR" using the world's largest television "Jumbotron"...

Based on the works he presented on a variety of platforms, statements he left behind at various times, and interviews with Ryuichi Sakamoto, this program unravels the "image of the artist in the mass media" from the key term "media performance."
