Fermenting Chōri
~A Garden in Italy~

In collaboratioon with Sohui Jeong, 10 min 16sec Video Performance.
Elicittica, Villa Romana, Italy,

The video performance is based on a re-exploration/re-creation of a 12-movement national gymnastics score. The 'breathing' movements and the various garden movements, including the olive tree, mix with each other and are cooked on screen, fermenting the colonial rhythm. Here, the high summer sun deepens the shadows and acts as a force that fuels the dance of fermentation.

 

The performance is based on two kinds of collaborations. A collaboration with the non-human species inhabiting the garden, and a collaboration with a sound artist. Based on the stories of each non-human performer I translated and recorded, the sound artist choreographed the gestures of the violin to create a sound source for each species.
