Australian-based fashion house Injury and new media art and music collective Real Parent are making their Tokyo debut from March 13 to March 27 with an exhibition at UltraSuperNew Kura gallery. The show surveys the evolution of their work, bridging 4K virtual environments and sculptures made from 3D-printed metal and chrome-plated resin. Framed as ‘contemporary talismans’, the works explore the intersection of human instinct, AI consciousness and invisible systems of power.
At the centre is the Interhumana series, where heart-shaped forms symbolise different modes of cognition: a transparent brain-heart representing wisdom, a black heart evoking synthetic AI consciousness and a red heart reflecting human emotional response. The new animation Silver Souls expands the narrative into a metaphysical realm, imagining the unseen forces that quietly drive digital reality.
The Digital Heartburn series grounds the exhibition in the physical world, with aluminium hearts reflecting the erosion of privacy in an increasingly cashless society. Sculptural and wearable works, including heart-shaped bags, blur the line between art and fashion while questioning ideas of value in a world where tangible wealth is replaced by data.
Visits are by appointment only on weekdays, while walk-ins are welcome on Saturdays. The exhibition is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
