The show Journey the West opened to loud applause and much enthusiasm. Among the artists presenting their work at the exhibition are: Aki Yahata, Hiroharu Mori, Satoshi Hashimoto, Meiro Koizumi, Yuken Teruya and Aki Sasamoto.
Aki Yahata's work expressed the power of human emotion and contact that transcends the mainstream idea of communication through the spoken or written word. The artist's video work was about a blind man and a hearing impaired one engaged in finding ways to communicate with each other.
People jostled to watch the performance art piece, Cetrifugal March realised by Aki Sasamoto. The performance was about death, its significance in different cultural context. The artist toyed with the ideam of objects and people and how the legacy of the dead is carried on with objects associated with them. The concept was both absurd and humorous.
Hiroharu Mori expressed his preoccupation with dead in Workshop of Death in which actors were asked to imagine their own deaths and were filmed while they "lived" their own death. The video work brings out the social causes and perceptions of death due to different causes.
The evening culminated in a meeting of Japanese and Indian cuisine with sushi, tandoori paneer and special Japanese tea served to all the art enthusiasts present at Lalit Kala Academy.
