During the period of residence, the artist captured 229 Fukuokan women of various ages on videotape in his video installation entitled "Swings – Mother's Mirror." In the installation, four small videoprojectors mounted on a motorized swing projected images of women riding a swing onto the four surrounding walls. Produced video imagery for the information TV shown on the first floor of the FAAM, capturing the hands of Fukuokans doing embroidery. Held workshop at an elementary school in Fukuoka, helping children make new artistic discoveries, such as magnified views of water droplets projected on a wall. During the period of residence, the artist involved many other people in his activities.
