Raquel Ormella at TWS creator in residence
5 January 2010 - 23 May 2010
From January to March 2010, Sydney-based visual artist Raquel Ormella will be the creator in residence as part of the International Creator Residency Program at Tokyo Wonder Site.
Curious about Japanese constructions of ‘nature’ and human-animal relations in urban Japanese environments, Ormella proposes to work with environmental and urban organisations which care for birds.
She plans to visit and document bird-watching sites (Oi Yacho Koen, Takao-san) with an aim to capture the complexity of human-animal relationships. She plans to also work in the same way with similar Australian organisations.
