Prescription for Tokyo is a Linkage comprising invited artists who are deepening their efforts in each respective themes. They will present a perspective or framing of Tokyo based on their own worldview through their works. The project will be held at various venues in Tokyo, and will be implemented as a connected project for Tokyo that will become cultural “prescription” for society’s recovery, overcoming various divisions that stretch across the world today.
Charlotte de Cock (Belgium) will create an outdoor work in the Daimaruyu area, where Tokyo's economic activities and cultural arts intersect. "Schön! Das Leben ist Schön!" (Beautiful! Life is beautiful!), the slogan of the project is to call for liberation from being stuck in a box. The title 'Hypernova' refers to the circulation and connection between the energy of human creativity and the environment around us. The mural will be a self-portrait that conveys the artist's conviction as well as a strong appeal to the viewers to step out of the box of confinement and liberate themselves.
