Tokinokawa is a six-screen and multichannel audio-visual installation produced by UK-based media collective The Light Surgeons. Commissioned by the BFI, it’s part of a larger performing music and cinema collaboration, Tracing the Circle, inspired by new restorations of some of the earliest moving images of Japan, preserved at the BFI National Archive and dating back to 1902.

Role: - Video Editor A390
The installation featured a sculptural wall of 51 stacked CRT monitors, each stack playing a bespoke edit created from Alpine’s original archival film. My primary role focused on crafting the footage for the new A390, shaping a visual narrative that linked Alpine’s racing heritage with the launch of its latest model. Working from original archive material, I cut and restored the footage, developed rhythmic sequences, and created treatments that matched the tactile, analogue aesthetic of the installation.
The final edits formed an atmospheric backdrop to the A390 on display, helping to position the car within Alpine’s broader design and motorsport lineage.
The final piece became a cinematic backdrop to the stand: analogue, tactile and immersed in Alpine’s legacy.
Vehicles showcased:
• The debut of the A390
• The A441 C — 1975 prototype Le Mans racer
• The A110 Ex-Works Berlinette — winner of the 1973 Rallye du Maroc
