Since 2014, Eiko Otake has been visiting Fukushima with historian and photographer William Johnston, performing without an audience and recording them on camera. This is a 25-minute edit of a performance that she did while projecting a one-hour video compilation of photographs taken over five trips to Fukushima onto the walls of a theatre. The present, past, and landscape of post-earthquake Fukushima are presented through her body.
