Title : FOR
「FOR」は「フラワーオブライフ」をテーマに、トゥシューズ・ペイント(*1)で人の一生を神聖幾何学模様で踊り描くパフォーマンス作品である。音楽は、パフォーマンスを行うRee氏の心臓音や歌を基本に、ミニマルに反復されながら淡々と展開していく。途中から東洋風の即興的な音楽が入り、人の一生が型にはまった図だけではなく、情緒を含んだ複雑なものであることを表現する。喜びに満ちることもあれば、破滅的な怒りに燃えることもあるが、やがて原初である宇宙の理に立ち返り、死を迎え、次の生へと繋げていく。
(*1)トゥシューズペイントはRee氏が考案・発明したアートであり、トゥシューズを筆にして絵画を踊り描く手法である。
“FOR” is the Pointe shoe painting(*1) art performance work. Its motif is “Flower of life”, which describe a someone’s whole life using sacred geometry pattern with dance-drawing performance. The music is based on Ms.Ree’s song and heartbeat, and these sounds are used as material. The materials are divided many pieces, and these pieces are repeated like the minimal music at first. From the middle part, the music begins the oriental improvised music. It means that life cannot be drawn as simple shape and line, and the complicated form is required because life has also more complex things including the emotion. Humans are sometimes filled with happiness, sometimes burning anger like catastrophe feelings. Finally, people will return to the truth of the universe, they will be led to the end of life, and then, led to the next life.
(*1) Pointe shoe painting is the art method invented by Ms.Ree. and it is a method of drawing a picture with dance using Pointe shoes as a brush.
