Description: | Performed publication: ‘Echoes and Transformations’, edition of 40, 2016, 50x70cm - during exhibition ‘Echoes and Transformations’, White Conduit Projects, London, 20 Oct – 9 Nov 2016. Performance with NaoKo TakaHashi, 20 Oct 2016, 15min, 4 parts (folded publication, pencil, electro-acoustic amplification with effects pedals, spoken word). Performance with Kaho Aso, 2 Nov 2016, 15min, 4 parts (folded publication, 4 photographs, scissors, glue, live projection, Noh flute, Kotsuzumi, drum calls). Conceived as diptychs in an exhibition context, the image-pairs strive to invert a conventional understanding of active subject and passive object positions by combining images of insides of masks that seem to change between concave and convex shapes, with images of whitened faces whose static positions remind of classical sculptures. The white here works as a non-representational space: an empty stage, a placeholder or insertion that enables an enacting of imaginary personae who are, similar to Noh characters, seemingly caught in retrospective states. They are sculpted and still, long before photography rendered them immutable, evoking a sense of premonition and awareness. |
