About this event
What this is
The 12th exhibition at Morimura @ Museum in Osaka's Kitakagaya district, serving as a companion exhibition to the Osaka Nakanoshima Museum of Art's 'Room of Wonders, We Must Perish.' The show features self-portrait works by Morimura Takashi that trace his personal landmarks across Osaka, including Shinsekai, Tsutenkaku, and Kamagasaki.

The exhibition offers insight into Morimura's artistic documentation of Osaka's evolving urban landscape through his distinctive self-portrait practice.
