The intertidal zone where land and sea meet separates the island
into two during low tide. The doll, unable to leave the island,
recalls a distant memory of the violent separation from her owner
and herself. A butoh dancer embodies a castaway doll and
performs in a shifting landscape of disappearing bodies of water
from intertidal phenomenons. Butoh, also known as the ‘dance of
utter darkness’, is a post-war Japanese avant- garde art form. Like
the elemental changes of states from water to vapour, she senses
something present but unable to be seen. A more invisible
performer takes precedence, the PD150, an attribute to forgotten
and lost objects. Memory becomes the act of ‘vanishing’ and
follows the sensation of ‘missing’ through a span of space and time
with objects, locations and people.
