Human Performer is a multimedia performance by artist Ibuki Kuramochi”My work focus on the theme of physicality, combining digital media with the movements of butoh, a uniquely Japanese modern contemporary dance form,” said Kuramochi. ‘Human Performer’ re-examines questions of Asian female physicality, patriarchy, tradition, and essentialism in the context of post-human feminism. This performance, an extension into real space from the artwork on exhibit, explores issues of tradition and essentialism, the matrix, what privileged value age and gender inevitably have, and what it means to be male = human. Where does the significance of boundaries and otherness of corporeality converge?
