Sensitive, fluid, physical, erotic, meditative, melancholy, and feminine, the films, installations, music videos, and designs by Yoriko Mizushiri offer new perspectives on separate body parts, based on infinitely talented control of the line and movement, a choice of light, “corporeal colours” like pink and purple, and without superfluous emotionality in the face and eyes. Her hand-drawn animation offer haptic suggestions, delve into fragments of daily life, tiny gestures and moments, and immerse deep into the abysses of the unconscious. The serene rhythm of Mizushiri’s works leaves the door open for the viewers to let themselves go to intimate interpretation.
Our body feels something and becomes anxious, and because it is anxious, it wants to feel something.
When we pull cellophane tape with our fingers and cut it, what will our body feel from that? Textures, shapes, the touches that are felt.
All kinds of associations are brought up and mixed together without boundaries. And our body feels uneasy again, delicately and sensuously.
