A Room of Her Own (2015)

On an island in the Seto Inland Sea, the Teshima Art Museum integrates the serene seaside environment with an architectural structure by Nishizawa Ryue and the artwork "Matrix" by Naito Rei. The remote museum's single installation suspends light, air and droplets of underground water in constant play, defining a unique, meditative space barred from filming. An innovative portrait in which the mysterious artist refuses to appear onscreen, Nakamura Yuko's documentary explores five women's interactions with the dynamic space of "Matrix" in unprecedented access to the site while delving into Rei's body of work, beginning with her projects in Hiroshima. Foregrounding a deep connection with tangible and intangible elements of human experience and generations of Japanese women, Yuko's film takes full advantage of the cinematic medium to confront Rei's artworks and the existential themes they evoke.
