Yasumasa Morimura, artistic director of Yokohama Triennale 2014, describes the chosen theme as “things we overlook in our everyday life and pretend not to notice, things we have lost in modern times, things we have left behind although deeply important.” The event’s title refers to Ray Bradbury’s dystopian science fiction novel, yet at its crux is “oblivion”. Its overarching goal manifests in using the power of art to turn our gaze to things inadvertently forgotten or neglected: the world of oblivion. The list of participating artists includes Alighiero Boetti, Michael Landy, John Cage, Bas Jan Ader, Shunsuke Matsumoto, Takuma Nakahira, Akram Zaatari, and many more.
