“You would come back there to see me again the following day” is a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Michiko Tsuda, on view at Dom Art Projects, a private art institution opened in November 2025 in Dubai. The exhibition is part of the institution’s inaugural programme and presents an immersive installation that examines the relationship between time, perception, and mediated experience. One will be able to view it until 15 March 2026.
Tsuda’s installation invites visitors into a spatial environment structured around mirrors, frames, and video images. Viewers move through the space and encounter reflections and recorded footage that overlap with their present surroundings, creating a layered experience in which past and present coexist. The artwork proposes a looping narrative in which memory and perception continuously shift. It encourages visitors to question their position in relation to images and time.
The exhibition reflects Tsuda’s ongoing interest in how visual technologies shape human awareness. By juxtaposing live and recorded imagery, the installation suggests that our presence in time is fragmented and multiplied rather than singular, revealing how contemporary media alters our understanding of reality.
About the artist
Michiko Tsuda (b. 1980, Japan) is a Kyoto-based interdisciplinary artist who earned a BFA in Inter Media Art (2006), an MFA in Film and New Media (2008), and a PhD in Film and New Media Studies from Tokyo National University of the Arts.
Tsuda works across installation, video, and performance. Her practice focuses on the subtle interactions between viewer and environment, often emphasising invisible or shifting presences that emerge through observation. She is particularly known for immersive installations that transform exhibition spaces into perceptual environments. Through the use of mirrors, screens, and spatial arrangements, her works encourage viewers to become active participants, reflecting on how images mediate identity, memory, and experience.
Tsuda has displayed her artworks in major exhibitions and festivals in Japan and abroad, such as Mixed Realities: Finding Your ‘Compass’ in the Information Jungle (NTT InterCommunication Center [ICC], Japan, 2025); Windowology | New Architectural Views from Japan (Villum Window Collection, Denmark, 2022); the 10th Asia Pacific Triennial (Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art, Australia, 2021); and London Ear Festival (Cello Factory, London, UK, 2018), among others.
