Ei Arakawa - Performance People
Ei Arakawa is a Japanese-born, New York-based artist. Performance People re-evaluates our event- and influencer-driven society. Arakawa proposes an alternative reading of performance art, where its time-specificity is activated through an astrological analysis of the specific hour and place of “birth” In this multimedia LED installation, performances are being addressed as “persons” with their own psychological tendencies, karmic purpose, and inter-subjective will power. The rhythm of the exhibition corresponds with the Mercury transits during the months of May, June, July. Produced in collaboration with Sarah Chow and German composer Christian Naujoks at Kunstverein Düsseldorf.
