Resicency Project
HIKU
HIKU is a project on hikikomori; the individuals who withdraw from society to live in complete isolation, remaining confined in their homes for years. Conceived in close collaboration with the association working to rehabilitate hikikomori New Start Kansai (Osaka), HIKU is the result of our contact with some of these reclusive individuals. Between documentary protocols and performative experience, HIKU combines material filmed in Japan (sound, video) and remote performance via mobile telepresence robots to orchestrate a dozen hikikomori. Shielded from reality, the scene becomes a zone of private and political appearance for these invisible individuals in Japanese society.
