I use fragments of stories and circumstances of actual places to draw imaginary cities. These are stories and facts collected from books and from the internet. The residency in Tokyo gives me the opportunity to factually adjourn myself to a place of imagination. I will virtually encounter scenarios that will provide a substance for drawing.
Drawing is going to be my instrument during the residency. With this instrument I want to explore and fathom Tokyo. I want to look in Tokyo for the places where products are made by hand in small numbers. I want to draw the places of craftsmen. In this way I want to find the encapsulated spots, the isolated cells in the body of the metropolis. In retrospect, while drawing, there can emerge new connections between these cells. In this way I hope to unveil unknown images of another Tokyo.
