The basis of my speech will be the presentation of an author’s research in the area of visual arts devoted to the subject of place, space and object. The research has been conducted in three years, using video, objects and installations. The paper has been prepared on the basis of experiments made during two creative residencies in Japan (TOKAS Residency in 2016 in Tokyo and AT ARTS Residency in Takamiya, Hikone, prefecture of Shiga in 2018). The works created at that time will be confronted with the study works made in Poland before and after the visit in Japan.
