Rock, Paper, Scissors

Rock, Paper, Scissors is a multimedia installation comprising video, animation, radio drama, and sculpture. Upon entering the haunting, mysterious space of K’s restaurant, the viewer is led through an immersive time-travel journey to sites off the shores of Yonago, Japan, to the islands of British Columbia, spanning from the 1900s to the year 2100. The sixty-minute installation invites audiences to experience an immersive trilogy of short stories, with each story bridging a connection between Canada and Japan by way of early Japanese migration and the natural resources of coal, lumber, and iron. Rock, Paper, Scissors imagines the complexity of history through a transpacific, speculative fiction.
