♦︎Outline of the event

Fake & Reality of Shibuya    ~Shibuya Museuming

 

Shibuya. The city of “symbol” and “abstract”. Many of us are attracted to the beautiful chaos of ” the fake” and “the real”, but we seldom ask ourselves why. What exactly does “fake” and “real” mean? What is “the fake” and “the real” of Shibuya? Perhaps, it is within this complex entanglement that lies the fascinating truth of the city.
People, architecture, industry, movies, pictures, music, dance, language, discussion… these products of human life seem to add so much value to Shibuya, to the point where Shibuya is no longer just a city… but a “museum”. Shibuya has evolved and always led the forefront of our lives. Only when we face the city can we understand the true value and creativity of our lives.
In this event, we bring you panel discussions with authorities from different creative backgrounds and interactions with the environment.
