Overview

Since 2014, Eiko Otake has visited Fukushima several times with historian and photographer William Johnston, performing without an audience and recording them on camera. This is a 25 minute edit of a performance that Otake did while projecting a one hour video compilation of photographs taken over five trips to Fukushima onto the walls of a theatre. The present, past and landscape of post-earthquake Fukushima are presented through her body.
