Saya Okubo
WAITINGROOM (Tokyo) is pleased to present “Is that snake,” a solo exhibition by Saya Okubo, on view from Saturday, July 12 to Sunday, August 10, 2025. This will be Okubo’s first solo presentation at the gallery in nearly three years, and it is organized in conjunction with “project N 99 Saya Okubo” at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, running from July 11 to October 2, 2025. Across both exhibitions, Okubo will present new works and new series inspired by motifs drawn from Kokon Chomonjū, a 13th-century Japanese collection of setsuwa (narrative tales). These fragmented stories—passed down from person to person and continually transformed in the retelling—resonate with Okubo’s own painting practice, in which motifs waver on the flat surface through repeated cycles of construction and collapse. We invite you to witness how these two worlds intersect and unfold within the gallery space.
