Shopping at Argo
Shopping at Argo (2017)
multi-media performance with live video projection / installation
In collaboration with Motoko Fukuyama
For “Shopping at Argo,” Aki Onda collects second-hand objects – a few are still functioning, but mostly not - from Argo Electronics on Canal Street, NYC and then collages them visually and aurally during the performance. It's a ritual that evokes the enigmatic kinship between the living and the dead, the functional and the broken. It speaks of memory and urban archaeology through the assemblage of objects.
Performance
2018 Recess, New York, USA
