Garrett Fisher and Tori Ellison | Mikawa

September 29 – December 8, 2017

Inspired by the haunting world of the ancient Japanese epic Tales of Ise, and the riverbank where a poet meditates on his lost love, Mikawa combines fiberoptic sculpture, sound, technology, and dance in an immersive, contemporary exploration of longing, beauty, and the ephemeral.

Dancer Christy Fisher performed a dance inspired by the installation at all of the Mikawa events.
