The Legacy of EXPO‘70 Ⅱ - Rebirth
Expo’70 Pavilion
This event has ended.
On 19 March 2018, Taro Okamoto’s themed pavilion titled “Tower of the Sun,” which became the symbol of the Osaka Expo ‘70, will finally be reborn. Taking advantage of the opportunity presented by seismic retrofitting work on the tower, the long-neglected interior has been renovated and transformed into a permanent exhibition space.
This tower can be considered as a ‘living being’ with internal organs; Okamoto once stated, “”The Tree of Life” is the Tower of the Sun’s bloodstream, the folds in the interior walls are the ‘folds of its brain’.” The tower’s internal organs have been recovered and re-awoken after half a century, presenting an opportunity to once more ask ourselves, ‘What is the “Tower of the Sun”?’
