An omnibus video work compiling several restrained kinetic scenarios that celebrate the ordinary and banal, Tetsushi Higashino’s KINE (above) will be presented at the upcoming Big In Japan exhibition Spooky Action at a Distance. Like all his experiments, it uses the materials of daily life as both media and message. The artist’s other ongoing works in progress include Hydroponic Nose Hair, an attempt to grow a plucked nose hair in water, and Pnoom (below), which sees him sneak around the neighbourhood on garbage collection day, making temporary stacked towers out of empty cans.
