[Works] *Some works are listed.
[vol.1] I'm fine, Guest: TEMANDA
Even if you say, "Yeah, it's totally fine!", it's actually not. I can't tell anyone, but the truth is that I'm in tatters. We asked drag queen TEMANDA to express how her mental health gradually collapses.

[vol.2] The brain next door looks blue, Guest: KAi MiWA / Rion Watley
As the saying goes, "The grass looks greener on the other side."
When I see someone's talent or quick thinking that I don't have, I sometimes feel jealous. I wonder why I can't do things that other people can do for granted. But when I look at it from the outside, surprisingly, I don't see myself that way. If you look at it from a different perspective, there may be parts of you that you would be envious of. I tried to give form to those inner thoughts.
KAi MiWA plays the envious white role
Rion Watley plays the enviable blue role
As I gradually changed my thinking,
Please take a look at the visual story that changes the color of your face.

[Staff comment]
ARISAK handles everything from direction to photography. Although the world view differs depending on the work, you can feel the atmosphere that you can tell that it is ARISAK's work no matter what you look at. Each work is filled with stories and thoughts, so I hope you can get a feel for ARISAK's worldview at the venue!
[Exhibition information]
ARISAK's appeal lies in its creative ability to not only photograph subjects as a photo artist, but also provide art direction on how to present the subject, allowing it to take the lead in shaping the world's scenes.
Monthly ARISAK is a ``project to create visuals for a fictitious magazine for one year'' based on her own work, which she came up with because she wanted to ``work overseas.'' The creators, including the models and professionals involved in decoration and hair and make-up, come together to complete a single piece of work, so please come and see the culmination of their work at the venue.
