Wa-ta-shi wa...
Invited by the Nippon International Performance Art Festival (NIPAF), I spent two weeks in Japan with other Japanese and international artists and presented a series of work in a tour to 4 places. Japanese and Chinese shared the same source of language: Chinese characters (Kanji) are being adopted in Japanese writing system since the 6th Century AD with different readings developed later on according to different contexts. In the festival, I tried to learn Japanese in my serial performances. Through various interactions with the Japanese, I intended to explore the cultural politics of linguistic communication when languages were being placed in daily-life situations but out of their cultural contexts.
