It is referring to the action “ No.36 Phantom Tail” that is assigned to the human’s tailbone. Starting point for this action is Takeya’s specific movement she calls “Breathbody”. This technique is based on the idea that there is a gap between the physical body and the inner world, a gap that is expanded by this technique: How can this gap be expressed through dance and movement? The choreographer tries to achieve this by transforming the divided image of physical and imagined body, using mirror images, time lags and distortions. Thus, Akemi Takeya’s work begins where also Cubism set out to change the perception of reality by intervening artistically. Her actions uncover a formerly invisible body by placing it into reality, striving for visibility and to this end adopting conceptional cubistic actions and movements. – by Jürgen Bauer

” My movement method of the “breath body” is the starting point based on the idea that there is a gap between the material and the inner body will be extended. This gap between those concepts are expressed through movement. The live video projection that is the background for me interpreting the selected lemons visualises the split between the imagined and the real body in a visual and picturesque way, through mirror images, delays and distortion of the recorded material. “
