Participating Project	Exchange Residency Program (Creators from abroad)
Activity Based	Basel (Switzerland)
City / Place stayed	Tokyo
Period	2026.1 - 2026.3

Purpose of the residency

During the residency, I will immerse myself in Tokyo’s everyday spaces, exploring how material, transience, and object culture are lived and experienced. My primary focus will be on textile materials, researching local fabrics in places like Nippori Fabric Town. Simultaneously, I will observe in-between spaces, architecture, and interiors, capturing these situations through drawings that can later be translated into sculptural works. I will research and collect ideas for a future series centered on the paravent as a space-dividing, translucent, multidimensional object. The residency will be a period of focused observation, material exploration, and reflection.

Plan during the residency

• Research textile materials and local fabrics, including visits to places like Nippori Fabric Town 
• Research and collect ideas for a future series of sculptures focused on the paravent 
• Make water color drawings to capture my visual impressions and memory of my stay
• Create sketches for a new sculptural work series
• Observe and study in-between spaces, interiors, and architecture in Tokyo
