In Liminal Base, the tent becomes both stage and shelter. A body enters. Another follows. Movement slows without instruction. The space holds. Nothing is announced, yet nothing here is accidental. The work unfolds in duration: repetition replaces narrative, presence replaces direction. Inside, sound becomes sculpture, with glitch and bass forming unstable architectures that rise and collapse within the room. Loops spiral in repetition. Visitors become actors, moving through rather than moving around. There is no beginning; no resolution. Only a continuous situation, briefly held in place as it is being experienced, inside a tent, inside the body. Outside the self.
JHNSI is a multidisciplinary artist working across video, sound, and sculpture, based between Europe and Tokyo. Their practice explores the intersections of technology, nature, myth, and spirit, where technologies function as affective agents shaping experience and memory across layered realities through immersive, site-responsive environments.
JHNSI is a media and sound artist working across video, sound, text, and sculpture, based between Europe and Tokyo. Their practice explores the intersections of technology, nature, myth, and spirit, examining how these forces shape contemporary experience. Technology is approached not as a neutral tool, but as an active presence that shapes perception, embodiment, and interaction. Through immersive environments, sound, performative gestures, and speculative narratives, JHNSI constructs liminal relations between human and non-human agencies.
In sound works, field recordings, electroacoustic composition, and low frequencies generate shifting, visceral listening experiences. Materials and technologies function as affective agents, shaping experience and memory across multiple layers of reality, inviting audiences to listen, sense, and reflect on coexistence through a collective body.
生息地 (seisokuchi) is an arts organising platform that supports a wide range of cultural practitioners such as artists, curators, writers and researchers in their projects in Tokyo. Starting from an Artists-in-Residence program in collaboration with WPÜ SHINJUKU, a cultural hub located in the heart of the city, we encourage the visitors to create dialogues between their practices and the local environment with a non-normative, informal approach.
