Hiraki Sawa 

press release

The Hirshhorn's new black box space for film and video works on the lower level opens in November with the art of Hiraki Sawa. He began to develop a series of black-and-white digital video works set in his apartment while still a graduate student. This selection highlights three single-screen shorts: Dwelling, 2002-04; Migration, 2003; and Elsewhere, 2003. Sawa's visual poetry includes tea pots that sprout legs and toy planes that magically fly from room to room.
