In Japan, every evening at 5 p.m., a song is played over the city’s public address system with the words: “Good children, it’s time to go home now.”

A work about people who cannot go home, or who no longer have a home. It explores the care we give one another, the repulsion of closeness, and the sadness of absence.

And despite it all: the moon.
For all who get lost in the city.
