Toshiya Tsunoda

A series of portraits, made for Television, of four diverse individuals brought together through shared residence. These short films were filmed in the tenement where I lived for eight years. The first is shot in our bedroom, which doubled up as my former partner's office, the three others were shot in architecturally identitical spaces owned by my then neighbours. Shot and edited on a single 16mm bolex camera using available light throughout, the films invoke reflections on the four individuals, how they occupy these particular spaces together.

This film was made during NVA's Half-Life production which took place in Argyll in 2006.

Tsunoda captured solid vibrations using a piezo-ceramic sensor and a stethoscope, and Haco used her "stereo bugscope" (two inductive microphones) system to catch electromagnetic sounds.
