Oenso
in collaboration with Nicola Kirkaldy
1030x900x190cm / wood, photo frame, video loop, plastic boxes, cicadas

Oenso exists out of a forty meters long meandering bench with integrated cicadas and a video. The bench is joined head-to-tail and follows the outline of the traditional Japanese house in the neighbourhood Yanaka in Tokyo, where we stayed during the collaborative project Uchinokoto. The bench is only interrupted by two upstanding posts that indicate the entrance of the house. One post has a photo frame installed that shows a video loop made of the scans of surfaces of that specific house in Tokyo.
