DAISY BALLOON | Mamiko Hirai “CALL | SIGNAL” will be exhibited at ONE AND ONLY from April 3 (Friday) – April 12 (Sunday), 2026.
This exhibition will feature framed photographs of balloons with cracked surfaces, a book discussing these works, and a two-disc record set featuring musician Mamiko Hirai and audio made from antique instruments and recycled materials. The aim of CALL is to evoke not only past or future experiences, but also the emotions that arise at the exact moment of an experience. The balloons’ surfaces are like ground fissures or the surfaces of unexplored planets, and when we explore past, present and future from macro and micro perspectives, we notice there are sounds buried beneath the surface. Those sounds that wander, never to take the form of language, echo off of our inner challenges, creating their own unique signals from within.
