ANREALAGE EXHIBITION “A LIGHT UN LIGHT”
From January 19th (Fri) to March 21st (Wed), 2018, the exhibition "ALIGHT UN LIGHT" has started at Japan House, which opened in Los Angeles. This exhibition is a compilation of the contents of the exhibition held at the PARCO Museum in Ikebukuro in November 2017, and is specially edited and curated for Japan House. The exhibition at Japan House Los Angeles focuses on the four collections of "SHADOW", "LIGHT", "REFLECT" and "POWER", starting in Paris in Ann rear Reiji, using a pair of light (A LIGHT) and shadow (UN LIGHT) as a clue. In order to shake the concept of clothes, we will exhibit our struggles to shake the concept of clothes through 'light', which is an intrinsic existence for clothes. In addition, works such as "ROLL" in collaboration with sculptor Kohei Nawa, 2017-18 A/W COLLECTION "ROLL", and "WIDESHORTSLIMLONG" and "0△" presented in Japan during the Tokyo Collection are also exhibited. In addition, photographer Yuyuki Okuyama will display photographs of Ann Ria Reiji, showing the trajectory of Ann Ria Reiji.
This exhibition will feature Rhizomatiks Research, a group of artists, designers, and engineers for interaction design, and Ichiro Yamaguchi of Sakanaction and Shotaro Aoyama of NF for sound direction. The art direction of the exhibition visual is directed by Masaya Muto (NO DESIGN). In addition, to commemorate the holding of the exhibition, photographer Yuyuki Okuyama will publish a book "ALIGHT UN LIGHT", which combines photographs of Ann Lia Reiji since Paris and the words of Ann Lia Reiji.

Following Sao Paulo, Brazil, which was opened in May 2017, Japan House will also be opened in Los Angeles, the United States, followed by U.K. London. We aim to expand the base of deep understanding and empathy with Japan by expressing and transmitting various aspects of Japan's appeal to more people around the world as "Japan that enriches the world."
■ Contents of the exhibition
SHADOW,LIGHT
REFLECT,POWER
Since her debut, she has been working on the theme of "stimulating awareness of everyday (AREAL) and extraordinary (UNREAL) through clothes at the same time."
In 2014, he moved his collection presentation to Paris, and based on a pair of light (A LIGHT) and shadow (UN LIGHT), he is developing even higher-order challenges globally, revamping the stories that the history of fashion has spun from the ground up.
"After Paris" by Ann rear Reiji will focus on four collections: SHADOW, LIGHT, REFLECT, and the latest POWER. Originally, light is an object that should be avoided for clothes, but we will display the struggles that we have linked light to clothes and confronted to shake that concept.
The collaboration works will also be exhibited with "Rizomatics Research", a group of artists, designers, and engineers as interaction designs, and "Ichiro Yamaguchi" of Sakanaction and "Shotaro Aoyama" of NF for sound direction.
In addition, photographer Yuyuki Okuyama will display photographs of Ann Ria Reiji, showing the trajectory of Ann Ria Reiji.
