A solo show by Yukari Nakamichi - opening during Hoogtij: 25 September, 19:00-23:00

Where the Water Returns to Stillness is Yukari Nakamichi’s solo exhibition as part of Billytown’s 2026 exhibition programme. The exhibition takes the form of an immersive installation that brings together sculpture, sound, light, kinetic elements, and audience participation.

The exhibition explores loneliness and the many emotions that arise throughout a person’s life. Drawing on personal memories, everyday experiences, folktales, and myths, it unfolds as an immersive installation centered on encounters, farewells, affection, and loss. Just as disturbed water gradually returns to stillness, the emotions stirred by our relationships with others also transform over time. The installation invites visitors to experience this gradual process of change as they move through the space.
