The Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo is currently hosting a groundbreaking exhibition titled “Seeing Sound, Hearing Time” featuring the works of the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto. The exhibition showcases the collaborative efforts of Sakamoto with various artists, highlighting his innovative approach to music and visual art.

One of the standout pieces in the exhibition is “TIME TIME” (2024), a mesmerizing installation by Sakamoto and Shiro Takatani. The room is packed with spectators as they watch the shadow of a woman playing a classical Japanese reed instrument projected across three screens. The ethereal imagery reflects in a pool of water on the floor, creating a captivating and immersive experience for the audience.

Sakamoto, known for his contributions to Yellow Magic Orchestra and his Oscar-winning film scores, continues to captivate audiences even after his passing. “Seeing Sound, Hearing Time” is a poignant exploration of Sakamoto’s persona and themes throughout his career. The exhibition delves into his collaborations with other artists, offering a comprehensive look at his multidisciplinary approach to art.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the film “LIFE—fluid, invisible, inaudible…” (2007) created in collaboration with Shiro Takatani. The film projects scenes from science, nature, and history through fog-filled water tanks, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that blurs the lines between reality and imagination.

Another striking piece is “Music Plays Images X Images Play Music” (1996–97/2024), where Sakamoto’s holographic projection plays the piano in a mesmerizing display of music and visuals. The exhibition also features personal artifacts such as Sakamoto’s piano salvaged from the 2011 tsunami, adding a poignant layer to the immersive experience.

While some works in the exhibition may not resonate with all viewers, the collective encounter of “Seeing Sound, Hearing Time” is undeniably profound. The exhibition invites audiences to explore the intersection of sound, time, and visual art in a way that pays homage to Sakamoto’s enduring legacy.

“Ryuichi Sakamoto: seeing sound, hearing time” is on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo until March 30. Curated by Sachiko Namba, Tomoe Moriyama, and Mio Harada, the exhibition offers a unique glimpse into the creative genius of one of Japan’s most iconic artists.
