figurante

installation performance (2023)
Tomoko Mukaiyama 

figurante was the main program of TENNOZ ART WEEK consists of a new installation performance.
It invited the audience into a space in which it’s unclear where the stage starts and ends and where the boundary between the audience and the performer gradually breaks down over time. The floor and walls of the austere concrete warehouse were covered with plants and natural materials, revitalizing it as a space that grapples with the vivid cycles of life.
