In conjunction with the “DIG SHIBUYA 2025”, CONTRAST presents “What Matter Entangles, What EmBodies Resonates”, the first solo exhibition in Japan by Flavia Mazzanti, a multimedia artist based in Vienna and São Paulo, from 2/8(Sat) to 2/16(Sun). Using digital art, immersive technology, and experimental animation, the exhibition explores the relationship between the body and its physical and social environment, offering alternative perspectives on post-anthropocentrism and posthumanism. Featured works include a new series of post-photographic works developed between Brazil and Vienna and the short film “Sympoietic Bodies.” The multidisciplinary project “Beyond My Skin,” which merges physical and virtual spaces into urban environments, will screen videos shot in Shibuya, Vienna, and São Paulo on LED displays. Visitors can also experience the MR (mixed reality) installation. In addition, “Sympoietic Bodies” and “Beyond My Skin” will be screened on billboards at the Shibuya Crossing as part of “Shibuya Crossing Night Art” from midnight on 2/10 (Mon). On 2/13 (Thr), an artist talk will be held at the Embassy of Brazil in Japan. ー Flavia Mazzanti (ITA / BRA, 1994) An Academy of Fine Arts Vienna graduate, she has won awards at national and international exhibitions and festivals.
