"Candlestick Man": A Performance by Tyler COBURN

As Above, So Below

Candlestick Man (2023) looks at Japanese portrayals of the first Europeans to arrive in the country, with a particular focus on historical and speculative relationships between human migration and disease. This short performance, delivered in English by Coburn and in Japanese by NAGANUMA Wataru, takes place in an installation of wall sculptures made with gofun (a white medium made of oyster shells) and Oribe Nanbanjin candlesticks that depict Europeans.
