Worldview & Attitude
"The commercialisation and falsification of art exist" — the direct statement of present reality. The ないもの (a world of pure artistic explosion) is not proclaimed.
Attitude toward Change: Executing the Tower of the Sun as a realistic transformation plan — planting a bomb of avant-garde art within the authority of the World Expo.
