A Dream Unawakened(excerpt from The Tale of Genji, Wakamurasaki): Inspired by a poem exchanged between Hikaru Genji and Fujitsubo no Miya in The Tale of Genji,Wakamurasaki, this work is presented as an exhibition-style performance piece.
This performance focuses on the language of “virtual” as an actual theme, and attempts to reconsider it. The noun“virtual” has the meaning of “the inherent power that makes a thing what it is,” and the adjective“virtual” means “not the original thing itself in appearance or form, but real and original in essence or effect”. When the image of the very private act (performance)of “visionary touch” itself appears, the act of appreciation itself becomes a visionary touch.
