Kuribayashi often says, “The truth resides in places that are invisible. Once you are aware of that there is a different world out of sight, you will be living in a different way.” The invisible realm and its boundary is Kuribayashi’s main them throughout his career. He has been creating special installations that visualize things that cannot be seen in the daily life, such as behind the ceiling, floor, or seabed, so that he can reveal this invisible world.
