Dates] Saturday, November 28 and Sunday, November 29
[Venue] Dance Base Yokohama

Harasaori Tryout “Zekkei” will show fragments of research creations as a result of the two-week residency.

A 30-minute performance will be given on both days from 16:00. During the time when there is no performance, live drawing by Harasaori and collaborative work (video work) with AI artist Yuma Kishi will be available for viewing throughout the day.

◆Harasaori Note

The “spectacular view”
I am looking at a landscape where the tragedy seems to have become a reality. I imagined the weight of the “curtain” that had not been raised in the world during the nine months when time was the only gift given to me. I thought about the dance, the words, the voices, the sounds, the light, you, and me. With that time, I keep moving between three cities, Berlin, Tokyo, and Yokohama.
　It is neither the past nor the future, but a shadow that only I, in the present, am allowed to see. I would like to begin this creation by calling it “a spectacular view.

　The “Great View” tryout will consist of “Perceptive Room” [performance], “Metawindow” , “Desktop” [desktop], “Metawindow” , “Perceptive Room” [performance], and “Metawindow” . Desktop” [live drawing]. The “body” is surrounded by the environment/objects of the room, window, and desk, and the “perception” is surrounded by the body. Our “perception” is constantly changing within this double enclosure, and will remain there until the end of our lives. This cannot be closed off by others.

◆Tryout Structure

“Perceptive Room” [Performance] 30min
Five days of studio work with the performers, with the help of Masato Sasaki, a leading researcher on “affordance” who has continuously used it as an inspiration for his choreography. The project was a five-day studio work with the performers.

“Desktop” [Live Drawing ]
Harasaori
“Drawing” is an act of perceiving the fluctuation of the tip of the body extended by the pen. Desktop” is an attempt to recapture the “line” that has been used to record choreography or as a function for esquisse by drawing it for about 5 hours a day, together with one’s own physical sensations.


“Metawindow”
Saori Hara + Yuma Kishi
Hara’s movements filmed at DaBY were made to be learned by Kishi’s AI for about a week to generate shapes with music as an external stimulus. How does the AI see “dancing with sound and light,” which humans have practiced since ancient times?

Music: Toru Umehara

According to Leon Battista Alberti, the architect of the early Renaissance, painting was an “open window.
The world as it is, depicted through transparent glass. In other words, a “transmitted image.
In Fresh Widow (1920), Marcel Duchamp succeeded in contrasting the presence of the “reflected image” in the space by attaching black cloth to the window frame.

The “window,” an important motif in art history as an equilibrium point in the conflict of images, will play an even more special role in 2020.
Did the world viewed from our own room really penetrate and reflect correctly to us?

Metawindow” (2020) is a video installation that creates an exhibition space in another dimension, “not” this world.
In a different space where no sound exists, the former “dances” observed in the here and now are melted down and reconstructed.

When “floating images” emerge as a new third image in addition to “transmitted images” and “reflected images,” what do we perceive as transmitted and what as reflected? What can we perceive as transmitted and what as reflected?
