大仏と格闘する Earnest Struggle
with Buddha, 2010
Performed in collaboration with Akihiro Nakajima. Production still from a forthcoming HDV loop. Superimposed onto footage shot on location of one of Japan's most famous monuments, performers interact with the hands of the Buddha statue like stages. A male actor’s movements are active and nearly violent; meanwhile, a female performer by contrast moves almost imperceptibly slowly.
