Kazuo / Yoshito Ohno

Approaching birth, death, sexuality and unconscious, the Butoh understands and conveys the intimate journey of the artist in his inner search even amid the changes around him. It s like a life experience, with no fixed time to run out, and that, on the scene, Kazuo Ohno could raise a sublime and universal dimension. Emidio Luisi managed to record this depth initiating a dialogue between Butoh and photography since the first time Kazuo and Yoshito Ohno performed in Brazil, in 1986. In front of the show or at the backstages, Luisi reached for the human contidion in the artists faces. Capturing gestures and silences, the images present in this work reveal the poetic complicity of the conversation between these two forms of art.
