Ostriches In Motion
Performance by Kotaro Fukui
Kotaro Fukui’s improvisational performances are inextricable linked to the concepts of Zen philosophy. When he stands on the paper holding the ink, and randomly drops the first gobs of ink the form to come and where the lines will go are unknown. He often says before the action” I am nervous, because, I don’t know what the painting will eventually look like.” During the action, we can only hear the heavy inhalation and exhalation of his breath along with the rhythm of the music; then we will find the artist himself transformed into an ostrich (his subject) - he darts about like a bird and his movement draws the lines that form the painting. It takes not more than half hour, and audiences invariably enjoy his stunning performance art.
