REINVENTING TEXTURE
MSCTY_Studio w/ Toshiki Hirano + Clare Farrow
Introduction
What is the sound of Tokyo? What does London feel like?
At a time when physical travel is restricted, the experimental immersive Pavilion “Reinventing Texture” links the two cities through a sensory stimulation of texture without touch.
Toshiki Hirano's multi-layered Washi paper work evokes the spirit of everyday life, and includes MSCTY_Studio's recordings of Tokyo streets, household objects, vending machines, toilets, and more.
