A PROJECT TO RESEARCH A THEME & BROADCAST A LIVE PERFORMANCE ART FILM
2021 March - Ongoing
無限の照応 Endless Correspondences
We began with a series of three YouTube videos, in which Reiko Yamada (composer/sound-artist) and I shared an intimate collaborative and creative process. The theme and work was inspired by celebrated Japanese novelist, Yukio Mishima. This was followed by a livestream performance in which I both performed and manipulated technical elements to create a film.
This was the first of a planned series of similar live performance/films that will form a large-scale project that will be completed in 2025.
These performances serve as both research and performance, and I'm in charge of visuals in general (including film editing).
For each edition, there will be two sides:
1) Documentary: basic biographical, factual information presented through film and spoken word.
2) Dance-Film Interpretation: an abstract film-performance that draws inspiration directly from the figures and their backgrounds.
