The View From A Terrace House

Born during a period of isolation, upheaval and contemplation, bound into digital communities looking out the same square of double glazing day in day out. The machine lives and she is full, and healthy.

As soon as things got weird at the beginning of the year, we started filming clips each day of our lives and ended up documenting the whole episode of 2020 on tape. While going through them, we found lost treasures of us wondering about the Ouseburn as +1's at the last Tipping Point festival, what a nostalgia trip. Two summers, one video.

This one hits different.

Take It From Me

In May 2019, we took a trip to the other side of the world and digested areflection of what our own society had become in retrospect. The video was shot while immersing ourselves around Tokyo, under the bright lights of Shinjuku, the shady back lanes of Kabukicho, the skylines of Sumida and under the shadow of Mt. Fuji, in the depths of Aokigahara (suicide) Forest.
