I'm Meat! Tokyo performance
Business Overview
A 60-minute lecture performance where a piece of raw meat is nurtured into a violinist. The performance was structured by referencing the writer's experiences, materials, and interviews with performers to demonstrate 'violinist-like behavior,' and then stinging the meat into the piece.
