Yoh Morishita – Chrysalis

In Chrysalis, Yoh Morishita ponders on how organisms and people change. She embodies a process of metamorphosis that perceives life as a dynamic equilibrium. Different types of movement appear simultaneously at the various body parts, creating a fatuous coherence of the animated and the inanimate. Existing orders are constantly being dissolved and created anew. Where will this slowly evolving sequence of images lead us? If change is the essence of life, how much do we allow ourselves to change? How do we feel about strange beings and objects? And who are ‘we’ anyway?

Chrysalis addresses and processes various questions around change. Lithuanian artist/composer Marija Jociūtė creates an electronic soundscape for the piece that inspires communication between all those involved. An uncanny world looms before us!
