This trilogy was created during one of my early visits to Japan, while spending time walking through Tokyo and Kyoto. The camera remained still, observing scenes from everyday life—moments that to an outsider might seem simple, even repetitive, yet within them I sensed layers of tradition, discipline, and quiet intensity.

Each video centers on a structured physical action: a group of students marching in formation, a worker cleaning the windows of a silent office building, and children passing a baton in a schoolyard relay. Their movements, though seemingly mechanical, reveal a deeper choreography of culture—what I came to think of as social gravity.

The work explores contrast: softness and precision, repetition and freedom, stillness and motion. For me, the runner in the third video holds the key—full of innocence and energy, passing something from hand to hand in a gesture that feels both playful and ancient.

The trilogy reflects on how invisible structures shape our bodies, our time, and the spaces we move through.
