The exhibition features three rooms: the “M’s Photo Corridor,” which displays about 800 instant photos that Morimura has been taking since 1985; the “Theater of Voices,” a special acoustics space for unmanned recitations; the “Square of Dreams and Memories,” where Morimura was photographed in costume; and the “Hidden Costume Closet,” where visitors can sneak a peek into his wardrobe. In response to the artist’s request for a labyrinth-like setting, we installed framed instant photos as if floating on 5m-high curtains meandering through the M’s Photo Corridor. Visitors lose their sense of direction as they walk through the gallery and see his works. They are then gradually led farther into the exhibition room, and back into the three dark rooms.
この展覧会は、1985年から撮りためている秘蔵のインスタント写真約800枚を展示する「M式写真回廊」、そしてこの中に無人朗読劇が行われる特設の音響空間「声の劇場」、扮装する森村を撮影した「夢と記憶の広場」、その衣装を覗き見る「衣装の隠れ家」、の3室が置かれる。迷宮のような、という作家の要望に応えて、M式写真回廊は湾曲する高さ５ｍのカーテンに額装されたインスタント写真が浮遊するような構成とした。観覧者は作品を巡りながら方向感覚を失い、徐々に展示室の奥へと誘われ、また3つの暗い部屋へ迷い込むことになる。
