Kaoru Murakami / Tokyo
Bulb Cities: The Former Daisan Elementary School, Nakanojo, GUNMA

Undertake receiver’s interpretation and misreading, a view that swings and swings back between the abstract world and a reality as an individual in a society. The view is a moment that generates endless dialogues happens between the sense of socially constructed identity and a self as a body confronting the things; this derives from human cognition is considered to constructed perception. Same as writers, observers’ position easily turns to performers. In this classroom, expand and spread The Former Daisan Elementary School that is picked up from an old photograph, and spatial and temporal nested, creates a space that generates such an endless dialogue.

Dark Matters
Venue: Former Daisan Elementary School at Kaoru Murakami exhibition space (entrance fee 1000yen)

Brightness and darkness are not opposites but exist as alternate aspects of light. Light allows us to perceive the physical world around us to varying degrees. In darkness, the absence of light, with limited visual perception, our imagination is awakened to allow us to give meaning to what we cannot see. This is the moment when memories resurface to fill the blank spaces. Forgotten experiences, fears, secrets, resurface as a photograph of our own inner landscapes.
Inspired Kaoru Murakami’s‘Bulb Cities’ Installation, Dominique will create a site-specific performance for Nakanojo Biennale exploring the concept of ‘darkness as a space of inner landscapes’.
Performance: Dominique Baron-Bonarjee
