PLASMA presents: Tomonari Nishikawa - Monday, March 11.

Tomonari Nishikawa’s films explore the idea of documenting a scene in the public space through a chosen medium and techniques, while his performances focus on the process of producing a visual and sound phenomenon using analog devices. His films have screened at film festivals worldwide, such as Berlinale, Hong Kong, New York, Rotterdam, and Toronto, and he performed at Block Museum, Chicago Film Society, Exploratorium, Microscope Gallery, Nanahari, among others. Nishikawa is also an active film curator, and he founded SEFF Binghamton and co-founded KLEX: Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film, Video, & Music Festival and Transient Visions. Nishikawa currently teaches in the Cinema Department at Binghamton University.
