During her residence in Hangar, Yuko Mohri has developed a research methodology to find the differences and similarities between Barcelona and Tokyo from an artistic side, cultural and social.
Research has focused on understanding the use of objects of everyday life in Barcelona, uses and misunderstood from the point of view of Asian culture. This misunderstanding is what inspires the facility, through a process of re-functionalization.

Circles, is the title of an engraving of the Encyclopedia of drawing from the late eighteenth century, the artist has adopted the name for her installation.
From the collection of ancient artifacts that it has acquired in the city of Barcelona as varied as electric or smalls engines switches to control light, sound, or motion, has designed the piece.
