Morning Shower
Participatory Performance
April 23rd, 2025
8:30 am - 9:30 am
42 St Bryant Park - 5 Av

Participants chanted in a subway corridor during the rush of commuters. The chanting was limited to vowel sounds, with each participant vocalizing in their own way. There was no score. Participants could enter and leave the piece whenever they wished, returning to their everyday lives.

Performance
20 choirs
Passage piece is the time and space-specific work presented at the Watermill Center on July 27th, 2024. An installation performed by 20 vocalists chanting creates an immersive experience that the audience passes through one by one. The project draws inspiration from Japanese tea ceremony and deepens the artist’s exploration of the “Present” and the transitional spaces between life and performance.

    意識の体験    
    現実という現実感のない空間で、
    　
    現実味を帯びるという非現実的な体験。
    　
    現実を体験するということが意識の体験であり、
    　
    それが時間という感覚なのか？

    美術館という場所
    美術館はアートを体験する場所ではない、鑑賞する場所だ。

    歴史を対象物として鑑賞する場所。

    そこに僕の目指す体験はない。

    茶碗という「こと」
    僕は茶碗という「もの」については一切興味がない。

    茶碗という「こと」において興味を持っている。

    茶碗を手に取ると、そこに時間が生まれる。

    掌と茶碗の境界線が溶け出し、

    僕は僕という形を失っていく。
