Searching for Eur-Asia
Video work
WATANABE Shinya / KIN Mizuki [Japan]
Outline
This is a record of a research trip made from Berlin to Shizuoka across land in order to prove that, rather than being two different cultures, Europe and Asia exist as Eurasia, one cultural continent. The video and narration bind together a legend of swans that spread across Eurasia, the truth about Joseph Beuys’ salvation at the hands of Tatars, and a conversation with the soul of Chris Marker through a shaman.
