Projection Mapping Special Exhibition
〜Four-year best compilation works〜

The 1minute Projection Mapping Competition is one of the world’s largest international projection mapping competitions originating from Japan, with a long history that has been held since 2012. This September marks the 12th edition of the competition, and the current venue, the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery in Meijijingu Gaien, marks the 4th time.
During the past four years, many things have happened, including a pandemic of the Coronavirus, conflicts and divisions around the world, natural disasters, and technological innovations such as AI. 2021 withis “HOPE,” 2022 withis “LIFE,” 2023 withis “LINK,” and 2024 withis “MIRROR”; the themes for each year reflect these turbulent four years.

The works created based on these themes reflect global trends and the strong aspirations of the creators. As a highlight of this era and the evolution of the visual arts, all prize-winning works from 2021 to 2024, including the Grand Prize, as well as invited works by world-class creators, will be screened at once. We hope that you will enjoy the best projection mapping works, which seem to condense the era and evolution of the past four years.
