An exhibition by the artist collective Koji Shiroshita & Mifuku.
At FabCafe Osaka—the 13th FabCafe location worldwide and the 6th in Japan, newly opened in Tenma, Osaka—we began on-site production and research before the renovation work commenced, and later presented the work in the completed space.

During the exhibition period, we held a talk session with architect Masahiko Inoue (Marginalio Inc.), who designed the interior of FabCafe Osaka, and Kazuto “Hamonism” Kojima, the general manager of FabCafe Osaka. We also conducted a workshop on Drawing on Space.

Exhibition Information

Statement
FabCafe Osaka opened in April 2025 in a renovated space that once served as an auto repair garage.
In December 2024, before renovations began, Koji Shiroshita & Mifuku started creating “Drawing on Space” using VR technology, treating the space itself as a canvas.
The resulting 3D drawings reflect architectural features such as underground maintenance pits and physical traces like worn concrete floors, paint-encrusted washbasins, and rusted shutters.
Field-recorded environmental sounds from the site were also incorporated.
Inspired by Osaka’s past as a submerged landscape, AI-generated imagery of the Yodo River as it may have looked tens of thousands of years ago was included.
Through the headset, these immaterial VR drawings acquire a painterly presence as they embody multilayered site memory.
