EAJAS – Emerging Art from Japan & Around Scandinavia – was launched in 2010 as an art biennale alternating between Södertälje (Sweden) and Yokohama (Japan). Invited to participate in the 2012 Yokohama exhibition, I leave the Green Lab and Gnesta via Stockholm one dark November morning. First stop is Helsinki, where I meet up with a group of Swedish colleagues. Next, we fly through the night to reach another morning at the shores of the Pacific.
