Plastic model exhibition to be held by Japanese artists in Hanoi

 

This exhibition will feature an array of plastic toys from both Japan and Vietnam, thoughtfully arranged to convey specific messages within an expansive space. In addition to the plastic models, various multimedia elements such as video, photography, and interactive displays will enhance the overall experience and reinforce the core themes of the exhibition.

 

The event aims to provide visitors with a fresh perspective on plastic toys while showcasing the artists' viewpoints on various facets of life, particularly the paradoxes within modern society. Additionally, these beloved toys are likely to evoke fond memories from attendees' childhoods.

Founded in 2011 by Hayashi Yasuhiko and Nakano Yusuke, Paramodel is an art collective that specializes in installation art, particularly focusing on the artistic value of plastic toys. The name “Paramodel” is derived from the words “Paradise,” “Paradox,” and “Model,” reflecting the group’s mission to express the dualities of life through their artistic creations.
