Antitail


Antitail is a unit formed in 2025 by Takashi Kunitani, who creates spatial environments using materials such as neon tubes, and doll artist Tomoko Hashimoto. In this exhibition, they present their debut work titled Gaze and Dream.
In this piece, they attempt to visualize dreams through an installation combining neon tubing and sculptural forms.
If the objects and phenomena that appear through seeing exist within our consciousness, then might the world reveal itself differently depending on the viewer and the way of seeing? If so, dreams, too, may be capable of becoming reality.
This collaboration between two artists from distinct backgrounds inherently contains unknown possibilities. We invite you to experience it at the venue.

The unit name “Antitail” is

t originally refers to a phenomenon in which a comet’s tail—normally extending away from the Sun—appears to stretch toward it. This rare occurrence arises from the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth, and the comet, and is a type of optical illusion that occurs when the emitted dust appears, from Earth’s perspective, on the Sun-facing side.
