This video work was created by two Japanese artists who held a residency during lockdown in Paris. Hasegawa populated an entire room with the small leveling clips used to align grids of tiles, questioning the “accuracy” of measuring. She layers recollections of how her creative process went unseen due to repeated curfews and the inability of people to witness her work, in the same way that the leveling clips vanish when the tile is laid. In this installation, dancer Togawa feels the discrepancies that arise in the perception of the space on a physical level, and through her movements suggests a new extensity to the viewer.
