Cato Canari & the streets of Tokyo

I spent the day with Cato Canari, a Norweidian musician that I exhibited with at Portable Gallery a few years ago. He lives in Tokyo and showed me around in Shibuya and Jingumae all day. It was great!

Despite my mixed feelings in the morning - I wanted to go to Japan since I was a child after all - so this is really a dream come true.

Lost in translation no kidding, if you don’t know Japanese you’re lost. I did get lost in a pretty good way, ended up looking at things in a (probably very dull and normal) general store for at least an hour. Everything was talking; little TV’s in the shelves and speakers in the roof trying to sell anything possible to anyone possible. Prada and all the other fancy stores are like a cyberfuture experience, and the teens on the streets are...different...
