The piece depicts an explosive space-time where a grand performance is performed on a stage that moves from left to right like a conveyer belt, and the cheers of the enthusiastic audience intersect. Inspired by a Brazilian festival, this is a grand spectacle that celebrates the origin of the universe, animism, gods, offerings, festivals, and totalitarianism.
In this work, we have established a rule to add onomatopoeia such as "do-dodo" and "paka-paka," which are characteristic of Yokoyama's works, to every frame, and put it into practice. You can enjoy the Yokoyama world in an even more solid way.

■Yuichi Yokoyama
Born in Miyazaki Prefecture in 1967. Graduated from Musashino Art University, Department of Oil Painting, in 1990. His extremely unique style of expression, which subverts the concept of manga and elevates it to the realm of modern art, has earned him worldwide acclaim as a style known as ``neo-manga.'' Participated in various exhibitions, including participation in Paris, France, Le Lieu Unique's exhibition ``Magasia'' with Keiichi Tanaami, and a two-person exhibition with French artist Jochen erne. A large-scale exhibition was also held at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Geneva, Switzerland. He is also actively traveling around the world, holding exhibitions in China and Italy.

Key point: We have received the work "PLAZA", inspired by Brazilian festivals. The onomatopoeia repertoire is impressive. You can also enjoy the animistic elements of seeing souls in natural objects, such as the eyes painted on the mountains.
