Mist (2023)

Eiko Otake from Japan and Jingqiu Guan from China are both dancers/choreographers and makers of dance for camera works. They share their ambitions to create media works only performers can create. They improvised by sensing and responding to each other while contemplating the suspended time and space between living and dying.

“In dancing, I practice my dying, at the same time I linger in my living.” - Eiko Otake
