Fumiko Takahashi (Japan)


November 24, 2002








Fumiko Takahashi, a member of Japanfs Women Art Network, began her duration performance by adding white plaster on all food, home & kitchen ware materials she gather on the small table in front of her. She wore white Bridal dress, and also cover her hand with white plaster. The process took more than an hour before the plaster gets harder, when she asked the audience to use hammer and saw to break the plaster and destroy the table.
Similar to Arai, Fumiko performance in Chiangmai was inspired by Siriporn action in a Patpong bar environment. Here Fumiko blind folded herself, and tied herself to a dummy which dressed in beautiful bikini. A blind folded woman struggling to find her way to the stage leading a dummy in bikini attached to her back.
