The End of the Moment We Had is a performance art installation based on the novella of the same name by Japanese writer Toshiki Okada.
I perform a repeated movement phrase in front of a screen on which are projected images of Tokyo while text from the novella is read along with music from Sonic Youth.
The performance as well as the text explore isolation in modern society, the struggle of feeling that you are insignificant within the world and the reaching out for a connection within a seemingly endless sea of people.
