In addition to producing academic research, the Window Research Institute has also been organizing exhibition projects of window-themed work by various artists. For this exhibition, we have invited the artist Tsuda Michiko, who will be using camera footage, mirrors, and frames to create an installation in the Japan House main gallery and in the display windows along the public passage. Conceived to distort views of the venue’s interior and periphery together with the people within them, the piece is sure to provide spectators with a disorienting visual experience that will alter their perception of the space.
