biscuit gallery will be hosting “nekis,” a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Nagisa Tsuji, commencing on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

There will be an opening party on October 18th from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, and the artist will be in attendance.

“nekis” is Tsuji Nagisa’s second solo exhibition and her first at biscuit gallery.
The exhibition will be centered around her previously released “nekis series.”

“Nekis” is a work of fiction that treats the Winged Victory of Samothrace as if it were a single “species,” such as amphibians or birds, this species is named “nike’ which are then collected as specimens.

 

I go out into the field to photograph them, akin to bird-watching. What is collected are then mounted as specimens and added to a collection.

 

The accompanying landscape photographs serve as captions explaining where the specimen was found, or as a backdrop for photographs that appear to document its behavior.

These specimens invite us not only to contemplate the fictional life-form “nike”, but also to observe what kinds of material layers make up a collage. Supported by the thin needle is a mere piece of paper that looks as if it could fly away, and the shadow it casts is also opaque and flimsy.

 

These works, from different times and places, are made to overlap within the single plane of a panel.

 

※Note: The Winged Victory of Samothrace is an ancient Greek sculpture representing the goddess of victory (Louvre Museum).

 

Please look forward to the exhibitions featuring the emerging artist Nagisa Tsuji.
