Special thanks to @grainpostproduction all the post-production - stills and video. Video edited by @krystianlupinski. Music composed by @norihito_ishii ‘Butoh, a Japanese dance-theatre art form characterised by slow and expressive dance moves, was born of the creative and existential void left by World War II. Diving into the depths of the individual, the practice unearths buried emotions and translates them into movement. It honours the full range of the human experience, including absurdity, beauty, and suffering. ;’ ⁠ For @atmos Volume 10: Afterlife. ⁠ @jmcneiljoyce @hello_hinoki and I have been talking about this project for years since we met on Kagoshima Island. Without him, this would not have happened.
