I.F. Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present the upcoming solo exhibition by Japanese contemporary artist Airi Kawakami, following its successful run at our Tokyo space.
Borrowing its title from Camille Saint-Saëns’ orchestral suite, the exhibition explores life, death, and rebirth through the metaphor of the carnival. Mirroring the Christian custom of Carnival as a final feast before the restraint of Lent, Kawakami’s work delves into the profound act of eating, navigating the dual nuances of gratitude for sustenance and the moral weight of consuming life. Through a visceral and tactile visual language, her works interweave celebration with mourning, inviting us to reflect on where our bodies and spirits truly reside.
Opening reception: 6 June 2026,16:00–18:00
Gallery address: G/F, 18-20 Wyndham Street, Central
I write about every exhibition I went to, and I go to almost every exhibition there is in Hong Kong. I shoot and edit my own photos for this blog.
I enjoy visiting artists and seeing their studios. I show them the way I see them, hopefully revealing something interesting.
I’m a proudly independent art blogger with no affiliation to any organisation. I blog because I love art and support the artists.
