Japanese game designer Hideo Kojima works with Danish filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn to create the new Satellites exhibition. It was presented by fashion house Prada with the help of Fondazione Prada at Prada Aoyama Tokyo. It explores the opposing sides of the world in varying industries to push boundaries and bridge a connection over time and space.
When arriving on the fifth floor of the building, the space is carefully staged through and through. It is a one-bedroom apartment with a bed, lamp, couch, and a rotary telephone. The space feels like a film set more than it looks like an exhibition. It is divided into two parts, highlighting six unique television screens with exposed boards and wires -- one is speaking English and the other speaks Japanese.
