Overview

“Rotation” arose from a desire for true peace, and was created with a heart that values and cherishes human life.
A flock of ungendered, neutral “humans” appears. Humans who, when facing crisis, draw upon their inner reserves like a phoenix to survive. This dance portrays the rotating nature of humans through scenes of progress, peace, joys and sorrows, crisis, pain and progress again. The work premiered in November 1967.

- The image quality is poor, due to the deterioration of the half-inch magnetic tape on which the footage was recorded.
