Teraoka Kai: The Sky

Teraoka Kai has created works using photography, video, sound devices, and drawings that encourage us to view landscapes in ways that differ from our usual perspectives. As in his photographic piece A Cloud, which simultaneously captures the opposite sides of a cloud from two different locations, and the video work Live Broadcast (Flower at home), which live-streams houseplants from his home, Teraoka captures aspects of everyday landscapes that we typically overlook or cannot perceive with the naked eye, encouraging us to imagine that even familiar scenes can be perceived in alternative ways. In this exhibition, Teraoka will present new works featuring the sky, a motif he has frequently explored. How might our perception of landscapes change when we engage with Teraoka’s work?

The Triangle
The Triangle (basement level of the northwest entrance, free admission) is a space newly created to mark the renewal opening of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. It aims to nurture and support emerging artists, while also providing a space where visitors, including citizens and tourists, can freely engage with contemporary art. As of February 2025, the space has introduced a total of 17 emerging artists associated with Kyoto. In 2025, the following four artists will be introduced. This initiative is supported through the “Charity Auction & Gala Dinner for Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.”
