In December 1970, Hikosaka laid latex on tatami floor and porch at his own room in Setagaya, Tokyo for the first time as “Floor Event No.1". Artist Mikio Koyanagi helped him and Yasunao Tone, a contemporary musician currently resides in new York, took record by taking 400 some black and white photographs.

It was the first attempt in the early phase of “Floor Event”, which Hikosaka continued to perform on and off until today.

22 photographs from this event will be presented in this exhibition.

There will be another set of 22 colour photography of “Floor Event No.3”, which was taken place at Gallery 16 in Kyoto, 1972.
