KAGAMI was created in collaboration with American technology collective Tin Drum. Since forming the studio in 2016, Todd Eckert has led creators, filmmakers, designers, engineers and artists in using mixed reality technology to merge the real and virtual, creating unprecedented immersive experiences. Sakamoto was volumetrically captured using a 48-camera system invented by 4DViews. The production represented a four- year process, unprecedented in the medium, which ultimately became KAGAMI. After putting on specially made mixed reality glasses, audience members are able to observe Sakamoto's fingers dancing over the keyboard, and feel the free yet profound soul of his music as though they are transported into a different world beyond the land of the living.

Alongside the mixed-reality experience is a photo exhibition showcasing Sakamoto's work from different eras, allowing audience members to warm up before embarking on a journey that transcends time, space and imagination. Sakamoto's musical universe is vast and profound, encompassing genres from classical, pop, electronic and jazz to avant-garde, experimental and ambient. His work appeared in a vast variety of settings, including film and television to games and anime, from theater and dance, to advertising, installation art and even the restaurant industry—all of which speak to his meticulous approach and enduring influence. In this unique and influential body of work, truth and fiction, the virtual and the physical, fantasy and reality always come together.
