Eiko Otake

A Body in Places is Eiko’s first solo, a radically scalable presentation for non-theatrical venues ranging from major transportation hubs to “odd” out-of-the-way spaces lit by natural light. For audiences ranging from the hundreds to an invited few. The variants are united by Eiko's lone presence in a distinctive kimono on a colorful futon and by an accompanying exhibition of William Johnston’s haunting photos of a similarly clad Eiko in ruined Fukushima, Japan. The work explores solitude, fragility, intimacy, and a relentlessly shared gaze.
