The Seed is A Ship in Saitama

During the term of the Triennale, Hibino will organise events wherein visitors board a seed-formed ship called ‘TANeFUNe’ that will drift down the Arakawa river. He is also planning a related exhibition and a participatory workshop on a separate site. Documentary footage of the earlier sails will be screened here.
