Tetsuya Umeda gets ideas for his works from the environment and the circumstances surrounding the exhibition space. Spaces that at first glance seem to be nothing special, can turn out to have countless characteristics, found in the cavities above the ceiling or behind the wall.

It is from such dialogue with a specific space that he creates his work, making use of found objects like daily tools and waste scraps in elaborate systems of cause-and-effect relationships. Powered by gravity, wind, centrifugal force or falling objects Umeda's work keeps the situation unstable and unpredictable.
