Purpose of the residency
I aim to explore Tokyo's approach to public spaces, applying my experience with European communal areas to a different cultural context. Through research and artistic interventions, this residency will enable me to investigate how Tokyo's social codes shape public interaction, offering a fresh perspective on urban communal dynamics. My goal is to reflect on the complex interplay of identity and space in Tokyo, contributing to my ongoing dialogue on urban environments.
Plan during the residency
- Urban Exploration: Conduct immersive walks and observations to understand the layers of Tokyo’s shared spaces and how they differ from Western European norms.
- Community Engagement: Engage in dialogues with local artists and residents to gain insights into the social dynamics of public spaces in Tokyo.
- Artistic Experimentation: Develop and deploy subtle site-specific interventions to observe their impact on local interactions and space usage.
- Creative Development: Synthesize the research and interactions into an evolving artistic project that questions and reflects the cultural landscape.
- Public Presentation: Present the findings and artistic outcomes in a format that encourages community participation and discussion.
