Combining still and moving images of Tokyo and Glasgow, ‘The storehouse’ weaves together personal anecdotes and observations about urban landscape and landmarks that come out of, or are particular to, the geography of these two cities. The work draws on particularity, negation and approximation, through nonlinear recollections and details of urban parks, shrines, cemeteries, igneous rocks, and the blooming pink Azalea flower.

The storehouse was produced for the 5-year anniversary of the London/Tokyo Y-AIR Exchange Programme, and exhibited at the Denchu Hirakushi House and Atelier.
