Artist Profile - Hikaru Uhura

Hikaru Uhura is the first ever video artist to display their work at the Art of Coffee. Hikaru's work involves capturing the normalness of everyday life then portraying it in a way to highlight its meaning. According to Hikaru "there is so much going on around us every minute that we can enjoy, but we often forget to notice. One thing I like to do is take this normalness out of the normal every day hustle and bustle and present it as a scenic enjoyable world." Hikaru's work is definitely one of a kind. When you're next in Art of Coffee have a look at his work on exhibit and discover some nice things about the space we live.

Text description of video

The video shows the view from a bus as it travels through the suburbs of Perth and ends up at the city bus terminal. It shows houses, shops, traffic, people and other things that occur. The speed is four times faster than normal to give the effect of the bus trip being a journey.
Haunting ambient music plays over the video. This features slow piano samples, ambient drum loops and atmospheric sounds from keyboard loops.
