Hideo Kojima and Nicolas Winding Refn’s ‘Satellites II’ to Touch Down in New York

Summary

• Prada Mode will arrive in New York for its 14th edition, presenting Satellites II by Hideo Kojima and Nicolas Winding Refn
• The showcase features installations and performances within the hotel and across the city, exploring themes of connection, creativity and love

Satellites II, a new exhibition by gaming polymath Hideo Kojima and filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, will take over New York’s Hotel Chelsea for the 14th edition of Prada Mode. Coinciding with the Tribeca Film Festival, the show will be open to the public from June 5 to 7, with a private members club running from June 3 to 4.

The forthcoming presentation follows Satellites, Kojima and Refn’s collaborative project shown at Prada Aoyama in Tokyo around the same time last year. Satellites II builds off the original show, diving deeper into the artists’ friendship and creative dialogue. Images so far suggest that we can expect a similar sci-fi transformation of the space, with films on retrofuturist televisions exploring themes of love, language and creativity.

During the earlier private program, guest rooms will be reimagined into “micro television studios,” each hosting an original performance. For public viewing days, the same spaces will house installations.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a slate of cultural events, including talks, concerts, performances and curated dining experiences. Additional site-specific works will appear through the hotel and around the city, expanding on the show’s exploration of human connection and communication.
