In April - May 2018 I travelled to Japan, to spend time exploring three cities and partake in a residency at Paradise Air, Matsudo.
I developed a series of pieces that explore my role as tourist and non-tourist - aspects of otherness, both literal and perceptual.
works included video, installation, sound and interventions into public and private spaces
elements from the series have been shown at:
murmuration, Glenshee, Scotland
LevelOne gallery, Hamburg, Germany
Newcastle University, UK
Cafe Oto, London, UK
Iklectik Art Space, London, UK
Paradise Air, Matsudo, Japan

the first in what became a series of video pieces connecting my interest in gesture with the design of and interaction with urban architecture. The interplay between the visual and the field recording soundtrack, recorded in a different location, acts as a device for our relationship to 'other'.

gesture, tourist - not tourist - architectural in the everyday, there.
ageing municipal architecture and obscure gestures playing with the contradictions of both states.
