In addition to producing academic research, the Window Research Institute has also been organizing exhibition projects of window-themed work by artists. Tsuda Michiko, who we have invited to produce artwork for this exhibition, focuses on how Japan House London faces Kensington High Street to create an installation within and around the windows using camera footage, mirrors and frames. By distorting the boundaries between the streetscape and interior and projecting visitors’ images into unexpected places, the piece is sure to alter your perception of space and create a labyrinthine visual experience.
