"Tokyo Mid"

A woman is alone in the middle of the city. She appears representing all of us.
She visits places where people traffic - busy intersections, the entrances of buildings and subway stations.

There is an endless pulse that runs through the city, the sound of new posts being struck or the hammering
of steel frames. From these, a new fresh sounds is made. This constant rhythm reverberates between skyscrapers.

This place has existed for hundreds of years, and the canal that I gaze into acts like a backbone to the city,
a moment of quiet existance.

This is one of the key places that make Japan move. With hundreds if not thousands of people passing, these is
nothing that is still. Thinking in terms of practicality, one can be moved to comfort. And, amongst the flow of
people, should one person stop moving, they are regarded as something forreign.

I began to think that I was bringing a different kind of rhythm into this space, letting this foreign entity slip into
the surroundings.
While we normally do not stand out as individuals, at dusk, when the light is changing, I let this woman appear.
Depending on the flow, we can see time drifting, and we feel the workings of nature surround us in this brief
moment of the day.

We can see this woman who hangs around the orderly row of buildings existing outside of the location's function.
The passer-bys show no interest nor hostility towards her. It is just a brief moment that gives birth to her existance.
By focusing on just one person, the drama unfolds in this orderly and composed environment.
