Berlin-based Japanese multimedia artist Ink Agop‘s solo exhibition  Overlooking I at SomoS Art House is based on the performances developed and recorded during her 2014-2015 ComPeung Artist-in-Residency at Chiang Mai, Thailand, on the theme of Shamanism. This project cumulates in the “Overlooking I” installation, consisting of video projection and kinetic sculptures made out of organic materials collected by Agop from nature. In Agop’s distinct contemporary artistic interpretation, the shaman can represent a sibylline figure of healing, but also a trickster, performer, clown, poet, or prostitute. Agop’s highly personal and instantly recognizable artistic approach reveals the collective and ritualistic behaviors that transcend the self and unite us all across time and space.

Opening: Thursday, February 25 - 2016, 6pm with live performance by Mieko Suzuki.
