chokladutställning på Design Sight i Tokyo.

Statement by the exhibition director Naoto Fukasawa

The American cartoonist John G. Tullius once said, 'Nine out of ten people like chocolate. The tenth person always lies.'＊ I think chocolate is a wondrous food, one with which everyone is familiar. But it goes beyond being merely a food … it shows its face in every aspect of our lives. What would happen if we were to embrace the world through that already shared feeling is what we're trying to find out with this exhibition. Naturally, works of chocolate itself will be involved but it's not just about that. It's about seeing the world through chocolate—together. ＊ from The Little Book of Chocolate, Brockhampton Press, 1996, p.32

Here, Naoto Fukasawa and some 30 creative individuals/groups present the surprise-filled views of the worlds they envisioned in their encounters with this word and bittersweet confection.
The 70 some of display works span a wide range of media including installation, video, photographs and sculpture.
