Central Embassy in Thailand
"Forward" OPEN HOUSE × DAISY BALLOON

Date | 6.1 (Fri.) - 6.10 (Sun.), 2018
Time | 10:00 - 22:00
Venue | Central Embassy – OPEN HOUSE (6F)
Address | 1031 Ploenchit Road, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand

Forward | We wanted to express a powerful vector aimed toward the future, which was something we felt when we visited Thailand. We focused on the individual life force, which becomes the force that moves an enormous societal system. From a microscopic perspective, this abundant energy that flows all throughout society may seem like independent bodies moving aimlessly, but we believe they are life forms existing within the vast backdrop of Thai culture. We, daisy balloon, believe that people exist as people/individuals while at the same time representing society/the greater whole. Our work is a representation of this idea where humans take on life and go through initiations at each life stage: birth, growth, chance encounters, cooperation, and creation.

Bridge｜We, DAISY BALLOON, focused on dendritic cells that travel along the two antigen pathways of "natural immunity" and "acquired immunity" within our bodies. Dendritic cells attack pathogens that enter our bodies in the form of natural immunity, but more importantly, they also act as the bridge that provides the data for creating new acquired immunity. Living organisms have evolved to have "natural immunity" while at the same time continuing to create "acquired immunity" and we were drawn to this idea of acting as a bridge where information gets transferred along like a baton.

This exhibition is based on the notion of “what if the future brings clothing created through biological technology?” and is an experimental installation (showing growth during the exhibition) that considers fashion as an extension of the human body that can be generated biologically.
Daisy Balloon will present futuristic fashion adapted to four life scenarios: self-generation (sleep), the ability to extend our bodies to swim efficiently (exercise), to challenge our tastes and TPO (dating), and to give color to a brilliant moment of our lives (wedding).

The world created by plant-hunter, Seijun Nishihata, is infused with balloon art by Daisy Balloon and the works of sculptor Kohei Nawa’s SANDWICH, to create a dreamlike scenery.
The snow-cell illustrates the relationship between plants and life. The white cells cling to the stems and foliage and also resemble snow fallen upon a forest. Walk through the forest and see the snow-cells come together, writhing about and growing like a huge living creature.
