Confessions of Love • Daisuke Takeya & Tad Hozumi
February 12 – March 13, 2010 • Opening Reception: Friday, February 12, 7-10PM
In Japanese popular narratives such as anime, manga and dorama (season length soap operas), telling someone you love them is called a ‘kokuhaku’ or a confession in English. The moment of the confession is considered an apex of emotion that is powerful and transformative. For this two-person show, Daisuke Takeya and Tad Hozumi present new and revised multimedia works inspired by ‘kokuhaku’ that revolve around the subject of love and communication.
