Reconstruct Reality #1 (35.1698075, 137.0654062) is a two-channel video work in which footage of the artist running is presented alongside an avatar performing the identical movement, captured using consumer-grade motion capture technology. The avatar carries the artist's breath and footsteps sounds recorded from the body, now attributed to a figure that has no lungs, no weight, no fatigue.
The coordinates embedded in the title mark the exact location where the run took place: a point in the landscape fixed by GPS, now held in the title as pure data. The work places the real and the reconstructed side by side without resolving the distance between them.
Consumer hardware introduces its own logic. The avatar moves with a slight stiffness, a hesitation that reads as almost comic a body that almost works. This imprecision is not corrected. It remains as evidence of the gap between physical experience and its digital translation, and as a question about where the threshold of believability lies.
OKOSHI approaches the smartphone not merely as a tool but as an interface through which embodiment is increasingly negotiated. Breath — involuntary, rhythmic, impossible to fully digitize — becomes the anchor point. It crosses from the recorded body into the reconstructed one, insisting on a continuity that the image alone cannot sustain.
