And 'The Love Doll: Days 9-35' utilizes a love doll that Simmons purchased during her visit to Japan in 2009 for her first solo exhibition at Tomio Koyama Gallery. In this series, the process of Simmons and the love doll building a relationship is captured day by day. Simmons selects clothing for the doll, prepares jewelry and props, and photographs portraits of it in various poses in diverse settings such as the living room, kitchen, bathroom, by the pool, or in the garden.

This series, published as the photo book 'THE LOVE DOLL,' garnered acclaim at solo exhibitions in New York, London, and elsewhere, and is now being shown in Japan for the first time. The photographs and video works, recorded on film amidst the shifting sunlight and changing seasons, capture Simmons's struggle with a love doll crafted to be almost indistinguishable from a human, yet one that cannot easily be dressed or moved by a single person.

This is the artist's long-awaited new series, and her first exploration of life-sized dolls. It is an exhibition that contemplates human existence through the medium of dolls, blurring the lines between the real and the artificial.
