In collaboration with Iris McCloughan.

This is the third piece Eiko edited during a 2020 Virtual Creative Residency hosted by Wesleyan University's Center for the Arts. The footage was from her duet with Iris McCloughan as a part of the premiere performance of The Duet Project: Distance is Malleable at the 2019 American Dance Festival. This edit is not splicing footage but rather an attempt to transform performance footage into a more abstract and elemental media work. Eiko has long regarded a performance as a practice of dying.

Video and sound edit by Eiko Otake.
Soundscape created in collaboration between Eiko Otake and David Harrington (violin).
