Discarded litter is hidden out of sight, layers of stickers accumulating on constricted gateways, and pipes, cables, and wires peeking out from the shadows of buildings. These objects no longer seem to serve a functional purpose in the city, yet they still appear to be "waiting."

Some older apartment blocks open onto corridors with partially exterior entrances, overlooking the inaccessible side of adjacent structures left exposed to the elements, enabling decay and overgrowth to take hold. More debris is dropped out of view. Above the heads of city dwellers, crows peer down through the tangled mesh of overhead power lines, ready to scavenge for waste.

The shadows of the city seem to deepen and deepen as restaurants, bars, and shops come with their stimulating lights, sounds, and smells growing more intense. Constituting the urban soundscape—footsteps, metallic noises, and echoes resonating through the gaps between buildings and underground spaces—the sound installation weaves melodies and rhythms that cast shadows over the Tokyo landscape. If we existed in the inanimate dimension, we could observe humanity endlessly scurrying past, never pausing to notice.

Composed entirely of new works, the audio landscape and fragmented urban images stir the imagination, inviting viewers to stop and notice the space between structures in Tokyo. Capturing images and weaving a visual and sonic narrative of urban life from dead materials that have gained freedom by losing their given significance, the experience of seeing shadows from the space between generated -on the screen and through audio- emulates the nature of the reality in which so many of us live. NEW invites visitors to immerse themselves in this transitory experience, with artworks, audio postcards, and T-shirts available for purchase at the venue.

We are looking forward to seeing you.
