Purpose of the residency

My work is heavily rooted in material culture, I approach matter as an active, meaningful, and intelligent substance, relating my subject of thought to notions of New Materialism. Animistic in character, the installations I produce bring with them an inherent discourse on value systems, employing methods of contemporary archaeology.
I intend to explore new surroundings, the potential of the city of Tokyo, being attentive to what makes itself manifest to me by making extensive derives and observations; looking into the urban environment and what stories are carried by the encountered objects and materials. Proceeding with collecting and exploring such objects and materials inside a studio space.

Plan during the residency
  • Explore and research materials specific to the locations encountered.
  • Obtain advice/guidance from fellow colleagues.
  • Create sound maps by monitoring and documenting a specific location and for a specific time span.
  • Process and collect materials.  
  • Conduct continuously thorough literature review to identify appropriate content and experts in the field, potentially create a collaboration.
