In this immersive sound and four-wall video projection, sound artist Susie Kozawa explores the resonance of her empty childhood home, which also served as the storefront of her family’s business, Tokio Florist. Using her voice, the walls, and found objects to generate otherworldly timbres and pitches, Susie conjures the spirit of the space and turns the house into an instrument.
Tokio Florist Project is a collaboration between artists Susie Kozawa, Brigid Kelly, and Alex MacInnis, with technical direction by Laura Luna Castillo.
