Performance
静動 (jodo) –
Silence of Movement
12 September 2020: Turun Taide Halli – Part of “Kagekiyodo” exhibition by Mari Mäkiö

Collaboration work with Tuuli Malla & Mari Mäkiö
Jodo – Silence of Movement is a performance based on collaboration
between Japanese calligrapher Yukina Yamamoto, performance artist
Tuuli Malla and artist Mari Mäkiö.
Starting point for the performance have been the japanese characters
‘jodo’ 静動 which describe silence and movement. We have interpreted
‘jodo’ through calligraphy, movement and sound – exploring together
what kind of stillness and movement arise from writing the characters.
Because Malla and Mäkiö are new to Japanese calligraphy, the
interpretations are a combination of Yamamoto’s indepth skill and
lingering with the unknown.
