The word must be interpreted in the language of the location where it is activated. It is a work that is both conceptual and meditative, centered on the repetition of a gesture that transforms without ever reaching a final outcome.

Haruto Mori releases 12 protocols per year. The waiting list for 2027 is now open.

Haruto Mori

Born in 1996, lives and works in Japan.

Haruto Mori situates language within the history of conceptual art as a material destined for erasure, where the work is no longer defined by what is written, but by the irreversible disappearance of any origin, authority, and final version.

Informed by Soto Zen thought, his practice considers language as an unstable material, in which the work is the organized loss of all origin and authority.

On the 27th of February 2015, the GALERIE IMAGINAIRE was conceived and initiated by a simple publication in the press. The gallery, directed by Sébastien Delire, stems from long discussions with the artist Nico Dockx. The result is a letter from the artist to the gallerist urging him to close his old gallery (Delire Gallery) and to travel around the world with an imaginary gallery, while inviting an interdisciplinary artists community, composers, philosophes, architects, designers and poets to answer the following question: “How, what and when do you imagine the notion of gallery?”. Through this question, the GALERIE IMAGINAIRE reexamines the model of the gallery as a laboratory for possibilities.

Since 2015, the gallery collaborated with various artists in numerous projects, organizing solo and group shows across the world.
