In her videos Taniguchi also portrays processes of making and seeing, but this format allows her to be a curious bystander rather than reporting from inside her own laboratory. Making the part stands for the whole can be done more explicitly when someone or something else is in front of the camera. For instance a body part, as in the video installation Untitled (Dawn’s Arms), which shows a stone-carver in the Philippine marble quarries on the island of Romblon replicating the arms of the statue (titled Morning) that mirrors itself in the stagnant fountain of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion.
