The installation titled “Between Gravity and Zero-Gravity” and a series of dance performances were inspired by the emotional experience the artist had when diving into the sea of Suzu. In the room with natural light, the costumes for the dance performances were displayed, floating calmly like sea creatures. Visitors could try on some of them and enjoyed the feeling of floating in the sea. At weekends, dancers performed expressively on the seabed-like stage and much attracted the audience.
