Tokyo, Japan : After the French Embassy relocation, the former buildings are holding a huge art event called "No Man's Land" (the place doesn't belong to France any longer but doesn't belong to Japan again yet either !).
The event is bringing together 70 artists from Japan and France and will last until january 31st, the buildings will be destroyed in february !
The works, most of which were created on the premises invade all the spaces both inside and outside of the remaining buildings : offices, corridors, library, staircases, basement, gardens, etc.
The visitors can see all the fields of creation such as visual arts, design, sculpture, architecture, photography, graffiti, stencil art, live performances, conceptual installations, video, land art, music, etc.
