Japanese composer and pianist Koki Nakano has been part of the second video in the MONUMENTAL series carried out by C. Bechstein, a piano manufacturing company known for its concert pianos and upright pianos.

This series seeks to discover the most emblematic cultural sites in the world in an intimate way, only with an artist, a piano, and a monument. In this video, said monument is the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, designed by the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry and inaugurated in 1997.
Pianist Koki Nakano has been chosen to provide music to the new stage of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao with its titanium curves and its light-filled atrium interacting with Tess Voelker's dance.

The video presents the first part with Koki Nakano in front of the piano located in the atrium of the museum who is later joined by the dancer Tess Voelker who interacts with both the piano and the building during her dance.
