voice of wear

In the exhibition “minä perhonen/Akira Minagawa TSUZUKU”, there is an exhibition space named 'memory and clothes', where the clothes are borrowed from the person who bought it and a detail of its memory are displayed. 291 episodes were collected through two calls for exhibits in 2019 and 2022. These have been compiled in the form of a book, “Voice of Wear”. One favorite clothes become irreplaceable through the memories of when they were worn. Each episode is deeply personal and special, showing a rich relationship between people, things and memories.

We thank everyone who entered for this 'memory and clothes' exhibition to share their story.

We hope that many more episodes of joy and life will be created in the future.
