Hideki Umezawa & Koichi Sato

“Migrating Garden” 

Video installation

“I will Come Back To You”

Installation

“I Will Come Back To You” is a sound piece presented on headphones. It was conceived for the exhibition Attitudes at SALTS in Basel. The sound features a female voice which advises the listener to walk around and have a look at the object of the other artists featured in the same room. Thereafter, the voice advises the listener to sit down and concentrate on the sound. Only one listener at a time can perceive the sound. The artist uses and refers to meditation techniques.

“Buildups” 

Video with Sound 

Buildups is an intense forensic fiction, importing espionage footage back into the world of CGI through which they were first conceived. It is juxtaposed with a music compilation of buildups segments from millennial trance tracks – juvenile ever-accelerating beat-less crescendos, a loop that ends where it begins.
