Audio-Visual Performance
“at the KIWA”
KIWA ni Tatsu / きわにたつ
KIWA is not only a spatial edge and boundary
but also an extreme and limited instantaneous moment
by a metamorphosis, transformation and change of things.
Tomoko Mukai
Creative Director / Spatial Projection
Sachiko Nagata
Purcussionist and Improvisor / Muscial Performance
“At the KIWA” (KIWA ni Tatsu / きわにたつ)” is an audio-visual performance in co-operation with Tomoko Mukai and Sachiko Nagata. Tomoko Mukai engages with spatial projection (public projection) through computer-generated optical landscapes and has presented them at various kinds of sites as cultural and historical hubs in local communities. Sachiko Nagata as a percussionist and improvisator has struggled with experimental music with unique musical instruments like iron slit drums “Hamon” and others. Mukai’s projection and Nagata’s improvisatorial musical performance co-create a boundary space between “images and surrounding environment/music and surrounding environment”. The projection integrates with the view of skyscrapers like a “Shakkei (borrowed scenery)” at the Japanese garden and the musical performance harmonizes with surrounding sounds of the city. This co-creation generates an experimental place for thought at the Tochoji Temple in Shinjuku, Tokyo as one of the most significant central areas of the metropolis.
After the performance, a public talk will be held with Takashi Serizawa as the executive director of P3 art and environment and Prof. Dr Sven Hirsch of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) , who is also the science curator at the Museum Insel Hombroich in Germany.
