Using the city of Lisbon as a backdrop, the contemporary art collective 目[mé] conceived an installation that acts upon our perceptions of the physical world, alerting us to the instability and uncertainty that surround us.
Surprising visitors in different parts of the city, Masayume provides different occasions to question the tangible and mirror our individual and collective capacity to welcome others.
Collective 目
目[mé] is a Japanese contemporary art collective whose core consists of three members: artist Haruka Kojin, director Kenji Minamigawa and managing producer Hirofumi Masui. The collective works on the production of pieces that manipulate our perceptions of the physical world. Their installations bring to consciousness the insecurity and uncertainty inherent in the world around us. 目[mé] received the 28th Takashimaya Art Award (2017) and the VOCA 2019 Award.
