The "new ocean" exhibition - a single work based on the theme of "water". "new ocean" comprises seven independent video installations with the common theme of "water", the concept of which is that the exhibition is one large work. Therefore, an organic relationship, both in visual, spatial and aural terms, exists between each section of the exhibition, so that visitors entering the exhibition walk through the environment of images created by the artist to actually "experience" instead of simply "looking" at the work. (This Japanese version of the "new ocean" exhibition held in 2001 in London, and is Aitken's first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan).
