By placing my body in these places, I thought of the generations of people who used to live there. Now desolate, only time and wind continue to move. —Eiko Otake

By witnessing events and places, we actually change them and ourselves in ways that may not always be apparent but are important. —William Johnston

As Pablo Neruda wrote of the Valdivia earthquake and Cecilia Vicuña performed her “Vaso de leche" street theater and Raúl Zurita refuses to look away from Hiroshima and Villa Grimaldi, Eiko has felt compelled to approach sites of trauma— most recently the Fukushima disaster— with an art of expressive vulnerability and inquiry. Moving through the still highly radioactive ruins, Eiko opens her body to the wounded world.  — Forrest Gander
