”ENSO-SENZO” Body Art
Film & Fine Art Photographs 2024
Wearing the meaning of the Enso poem on my own skin.
This project was created in collaboration with Japanese calligrapher Rie Takeda and Spanish photographer Alba Cid.
Created as part of Kamila’s 2024 Year of Making programme at Space Clarence Mews, London 2024.
Due to my ongoing fascination this Japanese Enso symbol, I have chosen it as a story for a poem that can be calligraphed on my skin. This ideogram has been a central subject in my interdisciplinary practice and I wanted the poem to translate its meaning on me so I can enhance my own embodiment of it as part of preparation to premier my solo interdisciplinary work “The Circle of Everything” ‘24 where I paint the large scale Enso live and use it as part of choreography.
Below image gallery shows fine art photographs from the process.
