So Near and Yet So Far was an exhibition that challenges the expectation of the ceramic tradition concerning the relationship between the viewer, the exhibition space and ceramics as material. The exhibition was created as a unique total installation for PLADS artspace.

So Near and Yet So Far was an exhibition in which a complete art installation can be discovered as a ceramic universe created by Mariko Wada, which spans over ten years from the expression in her early soft hand-modelled objects to the most recent experimental dynamic works. The exhibition was staged so the spectator can experience the ceramics in different spatial distances and angles physically.
