‘occupancy’ by hidemi nishida

 

 

‘occupancy’ is an installation in which japanese artist hidemi nishida filled a closed elementary school building with large plastic bubbles, with video projections filtering through their transparent bodies – colors floating within the space accompanied by piquant noise.visitors were able to wander through the narrow pathways created between inflated forms, experiencing the work in a trance-like state.
