Inspired by a performance of Toru Takemitsu's composition "Corona: For Pianist(s)", A Slippage In Five Movements is a visual immersion into the graphic score and its musical performance, revealing the unfamiliar landscapes and silences that emerge from the pianist's gestures and the architecture of the piano itself.

Torii 鳥居 is a short film in the form of an audiovisual composition about the traditional Shinto gates of the same name in Japan. The film uses these gates which symbolically mark the transition from the mundane to the sacred as representatives of a personal synaesthetic and spiritual journey through five levels of consciousness, traveling from existentialism to metaphysics, abstraction, and the Shinto deities called Kami, culminating in a final transition that weaves together these diverse philosophical threads.

"Under the Midnight Sun" is a dance of light and shadows, textured grayscale expanding across the landscape of an apocalyptic city. The sun is moon and light. It unveils itself by means of visual pulsating dynamics, unstable frequencies and vibrating rhythms; until it disintegrates into particles and pixels, and vanishes into darkness.

In 1859, two telegraph operators communicate using the radiant energy from a massive solar storm as their sole power source. In 2012, the radiation from a comparable solar storm narrowly misses the earth.

A Monster with its Mouth Agape is an experimental film inspired by the work of Butoh master Yoshito Ohno. Its multiple forms interpret metamorphic states, radiating from monochromatic intensity to multihued abstraction, with a soundtrack that reverberates the haunting soundscapes from the chaotic post-war climate of Japan. The work features a rare audio recording of Ohno–a sonic choreography, with each movement reimagined through the moving image. As Yoshito’s influence ripples into the present, these subversive forms of dance embody a sense of timelessness and transformation, deeply rooted in Japanese archaic tradition, folklore, and mythology.
