CITIZEN is an extension of The Koganecho Gesture(TKG). It is made in collaboration and based on texts by Makarim Salman (Mac).  Mac is chosen from TKG's open call for a collaborator from the general public in Yokohama.

Mac, is a British physicist, turned financial analyst who eventually became a tour guide in Tokyo. 

CITIZEN is a video essay on Mac's love story with Japan and in particular with Tokyo. In his own word it's a story of influence and connection across space and time. Part social commentary, part diaristic, it is Japan as seen and experienced by a global citizen. 

​

CITIZEN is my first attempt at collaborating with a member of the public. It's an interpretation of a script and an essay by Mac.
