This is the first collection of works by self-taught experimental filmmaker Shinkan Tamaki, who has been making experimental films since the early 2000s. The collection consists of three boxes, including early experimental films on material image and perception, and recent video works recording optical phenomena. High-resolution digital files on a USB memory stick.

Box 1 contains extremely abstract work that pushes the limits of recognition and black and white works that evoke changes in perception.
Box 2 contains black and white film that capture abstract images of wind, and works that attempt to reveal all the colors of visible light without a camera.
Box 3 contains video works that capture the movement of sunlight shining into the architecture and the expression of the space.

The packaging design is by the talented musician/designer Shinjiro Yamaguchi, who has worked with Shinkan for many years. It uses the three primary colors of light, RGB, and is decorated with fictitious video signal waveforms. The three boxes are designed to connect the lines when placed side by side. A photo card of each work is enclosed. Secondary use in creative works (quotations, remixes, etc.) is possible with prior permission from the artist.
