In response to In formation III’s investigation into the connections between institutional structures and perceptions of the psyche, Toronto-based artist Mitchell Akiyama develops a site-specific installation in the Studio. Utilising sound and light and their affective relationship to bodies both present and absent, Akiyama actuates the architectural and infrastructural elements of the space, transforming it into a pulsating, seething and inscrutable presence. Tuning the space to its own material and energetic potential, this multisensory installation is a haunted house, a sick building, another room speaking back.

Please note that this installation contains flashing lights.
