Purpose of the residency
During the residency, Li will develop the project “Tokyo Hypercity Dream” through drawing-based research and field research, exploring Tokyo’s urban landscape through the lens of “future city” and “cyberpunk” imagination. By observing its dense architecture, neon light, and social rhythm, Li aims to depict how technology, solitude, and desire intertwine in the contemporary metropolis.
Plan during the residency
- Conducting on-site sketching and visual note-taking in various Tokyo districts.
- Studying the city’s architecture, signage, and light reflections as visual language.
- Creating a series of sketches, drawings, and paintings that reinterpret the city’s density and rhythm.
- Developing conceptual studies that connect daily urban scenes with futuristic imagination.
- Presenting the outcomes through an open studio or small-scale exhibition at the end of the residency.
