A body in places is the collective title of Eiko Otake's first solo project, which includes performance and a photo exhibition.
A representation that combines performative elements, such as the performance A Body in a Gallery, with non-performative elements, such as the photography exhibition A Body in Fukushima by William Johnston, which shows photographs of Eiko affected by the devastation of Fukushima after the 2011 nuclear accident, and poetic readings of the work of Forrest Gander.
The core of this project is the return to exploring non-traditional spaces and its response to the innate characteristics of each specific place. In the center of the space is Eiko, alone, on a colorful futon, projecting and exploring loneliness, the gaze, fragility and intimacy. Alone, Eiko stubbornly works the connection with the particularities of the place and the spectators.
