Sound-Sound is a podcast about art, involves conversations and filled with noise. It’s the noise made by a string of loose thoughts and ideas yet to become a longer piece of writing. I also hope it shines a light on where people work, live, parade, play, and argue, even. For now thought, I will keep things short and sweet with three exhibitions and some soul music. Thanks

Takedo Fumitsugu “100 no me ha kōtai de nemuru (100 eyes take turns sleeping)” at Room_412. An intense exhibition squeezed into the former (windowless) apartment cum gallery. A year’s worth of imagery, two looped films and a zine titled “Compression Sustainer” describe the world as hard to forget even when you would like to. Instead, images linger like a nightmare or persist like a bad dream. They stay with you and the exhibition’s strength comes from the slow decay of old Shibuya and a venue haunted to the edge of existence.

Naomori Oshima “Playlist” at photographers’ Gallery, Shinjuku Ni-chome. A screening of his short films alongside an installation that takes place in one of Tokyo’s most well-established photo galleries. A show which is unconventional, self-critical, humorous and playful all at the same time.
