filling a gallery space in moscow with giant transparent bubbles, environmental artist hidemi nishida in collaboration with video artist teppei koseki have put together an immersive installation for lexus hybrid art 2013. the womb-like interior entices people to wander into the purple structure where they must navigate their way in-between the bulbous forms. projected onto the surface of the bubbles is the video work by koseki, which shows five different movement pieces by the contemporary buto dancer yasushi shoji. the images also reflect onto the surrounding space, providing viewers with an interactive and theatrical experience.
