Tatsuo Miyajima

Over the Border

This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

The gallery is painted black and darkened. Two halves of the gallery are divided by a wall and encircled by 160 feet of diodes, green on one side of the wall and red on the other. The diodes, picked up by the camera as colored lines, are continually changing number strings.

The sequences of numbers could keep going into infinity. They are a kind of international language, almost organic in their continuity.

In collaboration with the 1991 Carnegie International.
