About works / performance

Ei Arakawa almost always works in a group. Involving simple building materials, video, choreographed sequences and printed banners and posters, the performances he organizes address particular domains of identity - spectacular rock stages, USA alien status, Japanese historical avant-garde, Gay riots, and the administration of artist singularities. Yet, the group tries to leap/leak from these, continuously and temporarily.
