Group exhibition “no identity” Group Exhibition produced by Sharar Lazima held

2020.04.03

TOKYO CULTUART by BEAMS will be holding a group exhibition titled ``no identity'' centered around the active model Sharar Lazima.
She works with Margt (Creative Unit), Joji Nakamura (Painter), Rei Kuroda (Photographer), and others to express her own borderless image, which is active in a wide range of fields without being categorized by a specific race or affiliation, using their own unique methods of expression. We will exhibit visualized works.

``In spite of my dark skin, I dye my hair gold and wear blue-colored contact lenses in my eyes as a model. I don't look this way to make myself look nicer or eccentric. This is because they want to be a presence that transcends borders and is not categorized into a specific race or affiliation at first glance. In order to express this visually, he fills himself with images of various races. I have wanted to someday give form to the discomfort with modern categorization that I have experienced and nurtured since I was a child. It started with non-verbal expression using one's own body, but now we are holding this exhibition to convey what lies beyond that. For this exhibition, three groups of artists shared the concept and participated in order to express the idea from more angles. Creative unit Margt, painter Joji Nakamura, and photographer Rei Kuroda. I asked each person to express their answer to the theme I had, and we created it together. ” - Shara Rajma
