Dream: At the Moment it Starts to Disappear

Overview

This work is a collage of fragments of various dreams, including scenes of China where Ishii Midori visited before the war. "At times the dream invites us to a dreamscape with smells, colours, light and heat intermingling, and at other times it becomes an imaginative journey in the blink of an eye."

-This was the first work by Ishii Midori in many years after she lost her husband, the musician Orita Izumi , in 1972. He had been a great support for her and her dance company.
