A solo exhibition of my work is being held in Berlin from 17th September to the end of October.

a glimpse of the experience of an Alva Noto performance

On the 5th May in Berlin I was part of a Open Studio event showcasing the works of 8 artists, working at Rooftops, artist run studios.

There was photography, painting, soundscapes, projections, installations and more from artists from Japan, USA, Canada, Scotland, Italy and Australia.

My works shown here are experiments in projections onto painted canvases, with audio interactivity from both music [supplied by Kane Yoon, Australia] and a microphone picking up conversations in the exhibition space.

A series of videos inspired by musician friends.made quickly using mostly in-camera techniques and with minimal editing.

Shot in 10 mins, on location while walking to my morning coffee in Kanda, Tokyo, Japan. edited following coffee, 1 hour.
