More recently, Nibroll have created similar conceptual works for exhibition both in Japan and abroad: a 2005 piece, "No Direction,everyday". This piece has been exhibited at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography (2005), and at the 2006 Echigo-Tsumari Triennale. This March 2007 showing of "no direction."marks the first time that this work will be publicly performed in three years in Tokyo.
