A collaborative show with Roi Carmeli as part of the Artists in Residence programme, Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio, Japan <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I participated in Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio’s AiR<\/g> Program in October 2018, together with Roi Carmeli. It was our first time visiting Hokkaido, and we wanted to learn more about the heritage of the Ainu, Japan’s Indigenous people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ainu Autumn Equinox Ceremony

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We arrived in Hokkaido in the Autumn, a season well known for the quick and dramatic change of Autumn leaves colors<\/g>. Staying inside Tenjinyama Park in Sapporo, we were surrounded and had access to various types of leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iyomante (\u30a4\u30e8\u30de\u30f3\u30c6) is an Ainu ceremony where a bear cub is raised for two years then sacrificed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bears are considered to be powerful gods by the Ainu. They also have numerous references in Japanese popular culture, appearing in comics, logos and souvenirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were constantly hearing about bears,<\/g> and were advised to carry a “Bear Bell” when we went hiking. But we never encountered a bear in reality. We decided to break this tension by creating a sculpture of the worst case scenario: our portrait of us getting eaten by a bear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gathered Using organic matter in Tenjinyama Park, and used it to create printed works on Paper and Fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, there was a kinetic sculptural element, constantly ringing a “Bear Bell” that accompanied the visual work with a sound usually associated with the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
