KAGAMI - New York City, USA

Customer

Tin Drum

Location

New York City, USA

by Ryuichi Sakamoto & Tin Drum at The Shed's Griffin Theater

KAGAMI is a mixed-reality presentation of Sakamoto's compositions that immerses the viewer in a multi-sensory experience. Visitors begin the experience by walking through the "Path of Silence", which consists of a multitude of hanging curtain doors from Gerriet's SCHLEIERNESSEL CS. The path leads the audience into a larger area where they are surrounded by five large paintings by Sakamoto and an 8m wide projection screen with constantly changing photographs, waiting to be introduced to the concert experience.
