"Displacement Series" by Jong Pairez in Tokyo!

If you go to Tokyo to see this exhibit, you'll be excused from class. :) I wish I could take us all to the exhibit for a field trip. If you were an anarchist in Tokyo, you'd probably go see this.

Displacement Series

At: Irregular Rhythm Asylum Radical Bookshop Tokyo
Media: Photographs, Installation, Performance

"Displacement Series" is a first solo exhibition by Jong Pairez- a migrant from the Philippines.

This exhibition uses combination of various media and medium not just for presentation but also to conduct studies and observation of Displacement and Geography. Hence, this exhibition is rather a project of sorts than a mere aesthetic presentation of objects that we commonly see in art galleries.

To enable studies and observation of Displacement and Geography, the exhibition is divided into three parts, resembling the process of migration, namely, Phase One: Pre-departure, Phase Two: Departure, Phase Three: Arrival.

Although each of these individual phases is independent from one another and will be exhibited separately, all of them will converge in the last phase- but not to conclude the whole exhibition but to simply observe how these three phases has its own singular narrative.
