Tetsuya Umeda, Narikama
From capturing environments, architectural structures, sound, light and human behaviour, the sources of Tetsuya Umeda’s work vary widely. Umeda models installations and objects out of daily products and engages viewers with his interactive performance pieces. For Oscillation, Umeda will make a cylindrical sound sculpture from ordinary objects like tins, nets, stove, and rice. The sculpture’s unexpected sounds and simple processes are influenced by the idea of “Narikama”, an ancient Japanese ritual performed for 500 years.
