"yume utsutsu – place between life and death" is held after an interval of the solo exhibition at Art Fair Tokyo last year.
This exhibition is consisted of the trilogy of "flower burial", "flux", "love dance" and the series of "COMA" derived from the trilogy.

"flower burial" is drawn imaging a funeral based on the composition of the group photo.
"flux" shows metempsychosis. You can see the coexistence of life and death included in the huge stream of the world.
"love dance" is inspired with a wedding. It says that life never stays long in one place.
The "COMA" series depict the girls covered with flowers like Sleeping Beauty.
Maeda makes the boundary line between the life and death vague, we feel we stray into "the place between a dream and a reality".

These latest artworks are quiet, strong and also calm drawn with all her might.
You can see the territory between life & death and both eternity and moment there.
