As an artist, Takashi Kuribayashi exhibited his new work GENKI-RO (meaning Energy Plant in Japanese, rhyming with GENSHI-RO, meaning Nuclear Reactor) this year, in the 10th year since Fukushima nuclear disaster. As a photographer, Rai Shizuno is travelling all over the world working on Play with the Earth, a film weaving images of his experience and memory. The artist and the photographer also work together in their collaborative projects with their teammates. Takashi Kuribayashi will be participating an international art event in 2022 as an artist, but for this time, he will be also bringing Rai Shizuno’s Cinema Caravan as his collaborative work.
