Maze of Metamorphosis

Exploring the difficulty of Japanese society of thinking about itself has taken me far beyond my intentions and it was a pure grace. Butoh dance overwhelmed me with its maze of metamorphosis that the dancer manages to create. "You can dance like a flower and you will be everyone's flower - said Kazuo Ohno, creator of Butoh - But if you put the beauty of the flower in your dead body, then it will be real and the viewer will be moved."
My projects is about:
- butoh and contemporary issues (salarymen, hikikomori, shaman robot)
- art, beauty, poetry of amputees
- sexuality in a sexless Country
