NAKAGAWA Mao “Magnetic Contradictions”
OPEN SITE 9 | Open Call Program【Performance】
While the body is a physical entity with fixed form, it is also fluid and in flux, continually reshaped by complex interactions with internal and external forces.
Incorporating video installation and performance, this project explores the evolving body and our concepts thereof as influenced by historical eras and social frameworks. Drawing on sources ranging from real-life experiences to the traditional art of bunraku puppet theater, it heightens awareness of bodily perception, turning the exhibition space and the building itself into media that invoke physical presence and broaden our awareness.
