Oscar-winner Lost in Translation, one of the most widely acclaimed films of the 2000s, deals with the unexpected relationship between two Americans who feel out of place in a city far from their homes. Experienced actor Bob has come to Tokyo to star in a whiskey advertisement, while young newlywed Charlotte is there to accompany her constantly busy photographer husband. Losing their way in the foreign atmosphere of Tokyo, the two characters meet by chance in a hotel and share their loneliness under the city's neon lights.

Tokyo significantly influences the visual language of the film with its aesthetics and cinematography while also serving as a setting that underscores the main themes of alienation and the need for connection. The chaos, glittering crowded streets, language barrier, and cultural alienation cause the characters to feel lost both physically and emotionally. At the same time, the city becomes a surprising point of intersection where Bob and Charlotte find each other and form a meaningful connection.

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
