A calligraphic performance bringing together sound, sensation, and projection

The Brush Guiding the Way is a performance that shows the sensitivity and dynamism of calligraphy, a traditional artform of Japan. In this performance, I write out the kanji, Chinese characters, of the words for horse, monkey, and crane, all animals that have symbolic meaning in Japanese culture, and I place them on backdrops that show the seasonality and beauty of Japan landscapes. By combining these traditional artforms with the dynamism of live projection, I aim to boldly show the synthesis of past and future and the development of Japanese culture.
