SlimPOP4WB 4.3-inch advertisment monitor, often found in stores in Japan
Gardening poles
This installation was created as a part of a two-month residency in Itoshima, rural Japan. Material choices acted as a starting point. I became drawn to the sculptural presence of the gardening poles, which structured the landscape. I was also particularly interested in the monitor, typically used to loop loud product instructions and advertisment in shops, aisles and how it might speak differently in this new setting. The monitor plays a looping video recorded from the exact spot where the viewer stands—showing the same view, with crows entering and leaving the frame—creating a small disruption in time, or a folding of it.
