The latest works showcase the transience of decaying time and the beauty of "changing" perspectives.

When one hears the word "ruins," the image that usually comes to mind for many people may be that of crumbling buildings, ghosts, and the eerie. The "Changing Ruins Exhibition" focuses on the "beauty" that lurks beyond these images and presents an experience that overturns conventional impressions. The word "change" in the title refers to the moment when the viewer's preconceived notions are reversed. The forms woven with light, color, and structure are breathtakingly exquisite, and the narrative evoked from them attracts a wide range of viewers, both men and women. In a space where silence and time dwell, this exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to experience a new kind of beauty that ruins can release.

The exhibition will showcase new works by "toshibo (@JIYUKENKYU_jp)," who boasts 360,000 followers on X, "啝 (@neji_maki_dori)," who has over 30,000 followers on Instagram, and "YULILY (@YULILY_K508)," who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram. (@neji_maki_dori), who has over 60,000 followers on Instagram, will participate and present their respective worldviews as works of art. This year's exhibition, which brings together a total of 15 groups of talented creators who take a variety of approaches to highlight the appeal of abandoned buildings, is an unmissable lineup of artists who have gained support from the social networking generation.

The official catalogue of the exhibition will be on sale for a limited time to commemorate the 11th anniversary.

The official catalogue containing the "latest works by each creator" to be shown at the exhibition will be available in a special edition to commemorate the 11th anniversary. By combining the archives of past works and the latest works in one volume, the contents are designed to allow visitors to fully appreciate the beauty of the ruins' forms, the texture of light and shadow, and the different perspectives of each work. This is a book that will allow both newcomers to the exhibition and longtime fans to feel the progress and evolution of the exhibition over the past 11 years. This is a special edition, so early purchase at the venue is recommended.

In addition, original goods of the ruins, which can only be purchased at the venue, will also be on sale.

The "time of ruins" that can only be depicted by drone images will be shown in the exhibition.

The new video by popular creator "啝(@neji_maki_dori)" will show historical architecture in Belgium and France, famous ruins around Japan, and the World Heritage Site of Gunkanjima, captured by a drone in all directions.

This work, which brings together a group of ruins from both Japan and abroad in a single video work, brings to the surface the "time the ruins have lived" and the "process of change" in a three-dimensional way. This is an experience unique to this exhibition.

A special talk event will be held to approach the "site" of the ruins.

A talk event will be held by "toshibo (@JIYUKENKYU_jp)," who boasts 360,000 followers, "Drone Japan (@Drone_JPN)," a specialist in aerial photography, and "Enubi (@enuenuenubi)," who captures the Japanese landscape from his unique perspective.

While sharing their exhibited works, they will explain their experiences at shooting locations, behind-the-scenes interviews, and shooting methods in three dimensions, and share their perspectives on reading ruins. The content will deepen understanding not only for fans but also for those who come into contact with ruins for the first time.
