Tokyo Blue
Water Walker

Tokyo Blue is a Danish artist group founded in 2011, consisting of Silla Findstrøm Herbst, Katrin Barrie Larsen and Helle Frøjk Knudsen. The three members come from very different backgrounds such as art, design and humanism. What they have in common is their daily work with light and space. The group's focus is on the fascination and exploration of colours and their interaction with light, surface, space and material. In mostly site-specific installations, Tokyo Blue explore the ability of colours to create sensory experiences and narratives. 

As part of the Water Light Festival 2024, Tokyo Blue also presents a site-specific work created especially for the event. Under the title Water Walker, the artists have created a work that explores the connection between human existence, especially female existence, and the element of water.

Since more than half of the human body is made up of water, we are more similar to our home planet than some would like to believe. Water flows through us, influencing our lives and our environment. Water will be the great opportunity or the great problem of the decades to come, with water scarcity and other problems impacting most on women and their arduous marches in search of it. At the same time, water symbolises qualities of the feminine principle and underlines the central role of women in the narrative of water in relation to people. Water Walker explores this deep connection in a visual way and shows how water is constantly in motion and therefore we are also subject to a constant process of transformation.
