The Zhulong Gallery presents “Shiki landscape and beyond” an exhibition of sculpture and photographic works. The floor sculptor is Azuma Makoto and the photographer here is Shunsuke Shiinoki. Their work is to document a bonsai tree’s 10 years journey around the globe. The images illustrate tree encapsulated by an open steel frame that suspended has traveled from derelict government spaces, to sublime natural landscapes, some in extreme environments that these plants would never naturally inhabit. Those illustrations are engaging with art and technology, the artist pushes the ikebana tradition (the Japanese art of flower arrangement). These galactic photos propose an ethereal almost spiritual journey, which clearly associates the work and its journey to the life of the sculptor, and ours as well. In order to make this possible a PS tracker was used to help locate the carbon fibre frame once it fell down back to earth.
