‘seeing sound, hearing time’ honors the legacy of Japanese composer and artist Ryuichi Sakamoto, whose work ranged from film scores to experimental collaborations. At its center is async–immersion (2023), a large-scale installation developed with artist Shiro Takatani and based on Sakamoto’s 2017 album ‘async.’
Conceived as ‘installation music,’ the project translates the album into spatial form. In ‘The Studio,’ Takatani presents filmed images of Sakamoto’s instruments, plants, and studio objects on a large LED screen, where they dissolve into bands of pixels before reconstituting. The visuals evolve independently from the multi-channel surround sound, establishing a parallel sense of duration within the gallery.
