Banana Night @ACE HOTEL KYOTO Special Fan
Banana Night Special Fan Limited Edition!
Banana to Iero, which has "SENSE to ART" (always having "art" close to you), will be releasing a limited edition special folding fan in collaboration with "Banana Night," an art event that also uses bananas as an icon.
What is Banana Night?
Although it is a familiar fruit, the banana is also a mysterious motif that changes its appearance and value depending on the scene, becoming a symbol of social movements and being transformed into a high-value work of art. Banana Night uses the banana as its motif and aims to "provide an opportunity for self-exploration and the celebration of individuality."
The theme of this third event is "Learn the path your ancestors walked and create your own path." At the Ace Hotel Kyoto, we will be holding art performances that transcend the boundaries of genres, including installation art, kyogen, and contemporary music.

Artist Profile
Suwa Aoi
Installation artist
Born in Tokyo in 1991. He deals with irreversible scientific phenomena such as the movement of light, the process of chemical reactions, and the transfer of information, and by combining these phenomena, he creates visual images of situations in which the movement and appearance of things deviate from human will and become uncontrollable, and inanimate objects appearing to be alive. He also explores the world through an approach that considers the relationship between human consciousness and information through "seeing," starting from the perception of natural phenomena. He completed the Master's course at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2021. He is currently enrolled in the doctoral course at the same university.
