Chikako Yamashiro was in Lisbon for the first time for the opening of the exhibition ‘The Song of the Land’, in which she presents two video installations. The curator of the Engawa Season, Emmanuelle de Montgazon, spoke to the Japanese artist about her work, which explores memory and identity.
As part of the ‘Engawa Films’ programme, we screened ‘Mountain Plain Mountain’ and ‘Wrong Revision’, by Yu Araki. In this interview, the Japanese artist talks about his trajectory and his creative process.
Japanese artist Saeborg occupied our Studio with ‘Slaughterhouse’, an inflatable farm that crosses fantastical dream and dystopian nightmare. In this conversation, she tells us about the performances at CAM and reflects on cosplay culture and the dance between the audience and her animals.
The three members of the collective 目[mé] tell us about Masayume's presentation in Lisbon and how the public received the installation that opened the Season of Contemporary Art from Japan.
The Japanese artist shares which aspects of the city of Lisbon inspired her to create the performance and installation «Cuisine Existentielle» – an edible landscape.
