Kyokatabira

‘Nothing…
that is my body.

Truth, the grotesque, ruin, glory and misery, foolishness, dignity of the body, clumsiness, desire, beauty, falsity, the unknown, ambition, darkness, bacteria, Eros, the sacred and the profane, absurdity, graceful cruelty, 13th burial of myself, delusion, idiot, running, frenzy, tension, the aching Dancing Girl, betrayal, loneliness, etc.
When the soul and body wither, let’s take a walk inside a coffin… text is in my body.’
Daisuke Yoshimoto
