LEMONISM x LEMONISM x JAPONISM | MINIMALISM | SYMBOLISM | *ACTIONISM | 2016
“ A rhizomatic performance series goes on”

In her examination of the radical Austrian art movement Akemi Takeya exposes herself to a recurrent ritual: the flesh of the lemon becomes her own flesh, it becomes a metaphor of a transformation, in which the nude performer cuts into again and again. She captures iconic images and gestures that are linked to the Viennese movement and the origins of performance art and negotiates them in a disturbing and unsettling enactment that inscribes into her body. The live video projections dismantle her body focusing on the particular body parts – the joints, the skin, the limbs – that are each represented by a single lemon.
