Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

The book Uchi-soto (1995) combines a poem by Michel Butor, drawings by Gregory Masurovsky and photographs of dancer Akiko Senuma by Pierre Espagne. Its title comes from the Japanese concept of “in-groups” (uchi, “inside”) and “out-groups” (soto, “outside”), referring to the dynamic intimate and public social circles one inhabits. We will examine how the art forms played out in the book interact and feed off each other to show the ways in which Uchi-soto not only questions our relationship with space and dwelling, but also provides a new perspective on the boundaries of life itself.
