As a writer who has produced a number of novels focusing on the differences that occur within society and multiple languages, Tawada is going to edit her written works based on the theme of Saitama Triennale 2016, as well as the inspiration she derives from the exhibition space. She will offer viewers unique reading experiences of encountering the texts within the gallery space.
