DARK BOX – Garden in Darkness

Overview

GORO NAMERIKAEWA DANCE CORRESPONDENCE '88.
The walls are covered in photographic paper. The dance begins in total darkness. After a number of flashes of a green lamp, the lights come up and images of Namerikawa Goro's dancing body appear on the walls. This was the trick used in 'Dark Box'. Although the date of the performance at The Seed Hall is unknown, it was also performed at the Mandeville Center at the University of California, San Diego on June 20, 1986, and at the Suzue Gumi Warehouse in 1987. For the Suzue Gumi Warehouse performance, the photographic paper wall stretched 30 metres side to side.
