Name: Ryo Fujimoto
Artform(s): Ritual-based voice performance, sound art, body-centered one-to-one practice, site-specific live systems
Context(s): I mainly work through residencies, site-specific research, and intimate one-to-one or small-scale encounters. My practice operates in contexts where duration, bodily presence, and environmental pressure shape the work, rather than fixed-stage or touring formats.
Do you have a touring one-to-one piece (or more than one)? What would you like to tell about it?
I do not work with a fixed touring one-to-one piece.
Instead, my one-to-one works function as site-responsive ritual systems that are generated through residency periods.
Each work emerges from the interaction between body, space, and environmental pressure, and cannot be separated from its location.
Voice, breath, reflex, and rhythm operate as primary life-signals, producing a one-time encounter that cannot be replicated in the same form elsewhere.
Is there something else you want to share in this portal?
My interest in one-to-one practice lies in ritual as a generative condition rather than a presentable format.
I am particularly drawn to contexts that support work-in-progress, bodily exposure, and situations where both the participant and the space undergo irreversible transformation through the encounter.
