Since the 1980's Yukio Fujimoto has been interested in creating new ways to hear sounds. For his project in PICA's Westend Gallery, he has covered the floor with coal and invites visitors to walk across it. By asking us to do much more than just seeing an object, Fujimoto creates a complex audio-visual-sensorial and phenomenological experience, something that has been at the heart of his career for over forty years.
