This You
Tino Sehgal
In 2022, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is supporting Kyoto Experiment to present This You, by Tino Sehgal.
A singular creation born from a site-specific act
Kyoto Experiment and Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels co-presents a project by world-renowned artist Tino Sehgal. This You (created in 2006) will be presented for the first time in Japan. In addition to this live work, a video-dance projection and a symposium will explore the origins and legacy of postmodern dance.
Rather than taking the form of objects, such as paintings or sculptures, Sehgal’s work involves instructing participants who reenact them for visitors to create an experience. Sehgal’s work are not documented by photographs or videos, and thus can only be experienced in person.
This You takes place in the Japanese garden of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. A singer interacts one-on-one with the visitors, creating an ephemeral and memorable experience while translating what others see in a candid and intimate way.
