Echoes of Light

At RE:LIGHT Festival, Shinji Wakasa collaborated with ONIONLAB on Echoes of Light, an immersive light-and-sound installation. Using inclined mirrors, beams of light, and interactive technologies, the work transformed visitors’ movement and emotional presence into a continuously shifting choreography of reflection, light, and sound. Wakasa contributed the soundscape, shaping the installation’s passage from fragmentation to connection. <View>

ANNUN(暗雲)

At GASBON METABOLISM, Yamanashi, Japan (April 25–May 25, 2025), Shinji Wakasa collaborated with the jewelry brand :CAFCA on ANNUN / Foam, Fluid, an immersive installation combining sound, live projection, and sculptural display. Centered on the fragile formation of soap bubbles and their magnified projection, the work explored transience, memory, absence, and the unstable boundary between the ephemeral and the monumental. Wakasa created the sound installation, shaping the space as a contemplative field of resonance and impermanence.

At DIGINNER GALLERY, Tokyo, Japan (August 6–21 and September 3–11, 2022), Shinji Wakasa presented a2, a collaborative exhibition with artist Shingo Okazaki. Combining painting, sound, live performance, and installation, the project explored how abstract visual gestures could be translated into a spatial and acoustic structure. Wakasa developed a multichannel sound installation built from five collaborative tracks distributed across numerous speakers throughout the space.

skin

At fuuro in Mejiro, Tokyo, Japan, from November 8 to 13, 2019, Shinji Wakasa presented skin, a two-person exhibition with painter and collage artist Yoko Inoue. Developed around the idea of “skin” as both surface and threshold, the exhibition placed sound in dialogue with painting and collage, exploring fragility, contact, and the unstable relation between inner and outer space.
