Tomonari Nishikawa’s films explore the idea of documenting a scene in the public space through a chosen medium/format and techniques, while his performance projects focus on the process of creating a visual/sound phenomenon using analog devices, including 16mm film projector and slide projector. Nishikawa started using a 16mm film projector for his performance projects in 2013, scratching the film emulsion to produce the visual and sound. His on-going 16mm film projection performance project, Six Seventy-Two Variations, has been performed at Block Museum in Evanston, Cosmic Rays Film Festival in Carrboro, Exploratorium in San Francisco, FRACTO in Berlin, New York Film Festival, Shapeshifters Cinema in Oakland, among others. He also uses slide projectors in his performance or collaborative work with sound artists, and one of such works, Chiratsuki, was performed with Sontag Shogun at Mono no Aware VIII in New York. He is based in Tokyo, Japan, and Vestal, NY. Nishikawa teaches in the Cinema Department at Binghamton University.
