The exhibition featured five hexagonal pods, replacing the conventional gallery setting. Each pod showcased curated chapters, artist texts, and introductions, symbolizing different aspects of life from a victim’s perspective. Positioned centrally, near the memorial and official museum, this innovative exhibition design transformed the space into a dynamic and interactive site, commemorating 150 years of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan.
