Takuya Takemoto
\n“came to see mountains”<\/h3>\n
What does it mean to be? With an awareness of such questions, Takuya Takemoto, who has been repeating his performance of simply being in the space every day with or without an audience, will here present a new work. Using as his stage the auditorium of the Goethe-Institut Tokyo, the largest space in which he has performed to date, Takemoto will experience the space that envelops his body and all the events therein, sharpening all his senses in a one-hour performance.<\/div>\n

The landscape seen from the rooftop connects to the mountains beyond.
\nA huge expanse of air fills the gulf between.
\nThe tip of my eye reaches the edge of the mountain in the distance.
\nA small water tower with a spiral staircase stands there.
\nThe water tower is not actually small.
\nThere is a person climbing the stairs.
\nThat person and I are connected by the same air.
\nA straight line. A link.
\nIs that person aware of this?
\nDoes he draw the same breath as I?
\nThere is nothing that separates us, except this distance.
\n\u3000
\nA dry, cracking sound hits the landscape.

\nAppearing on the stage, I listen carefully and slowly take a step forward. It is not something \u201cI\u201d have done, nor something between \u201cI\u201d and \u201cyou,\u201d but a small point barely emerging after both \u201cI\u201d and \u201cyou\u201d have dis-appeared. I move to that single point, which neither exists nor disappears. This world\u2014or rather, what is in front of my eyes\u2014is connected to the real world. I perform in order to create a place where I can see such points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
