A Body in Tokyo (2021)

17 minutes 34 seconds

10 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, Eiko places herself in different spaces around the Ueno area in Tokyo (Ueno Station, Tokyo Bunka Kaikan, Nakacho Shopping Street, etc.) and in the underground spaces of the former Hakubutsukan Dobutsuen Station and Shibuya River culvert, layering projected images of Fukushima onto the surrounding buildings and herself. These images are part of A Body in Fukushima, Eiko's collaboration with photographer William Johnston.

A Body in Tokyo was selected and screened at Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema, Munich New Wave Short Film Festival, Madrid International Short Film Festival, and Toronto Indie Filmmakers Festival and has received awards from Tokyo International Short Film Festival, Roma Short Film Festival, and Japan International Film Festival.
