Step into “Forest of Mononoke,” a sculptural installation of light and shadow activated by live performance, and encounter an uncertain world of forces beyond ourselves.
Inside this art installation by artist @saki.sonoda, choreographer and performer @peterxmercury embodies the story of one person who finds themselves invisible and between two worlds. After an encounter with a crystalline glitch in the boundary of realities, they are drawn into the world of mononoke: spirits of Japanese folklore that embody strong emotions and extraordinary experiences and remind us that the self is not entirely in control. As they navigate the projected shadows that materialize the unseen things that lie within the forest, the lost figure finds themselves face-to-face with the enormity of madness, desire, and death, to accept them and go on living.
Performance dates:
September 17–18–23–25–26–30
October 4–7–14

From a sketchbook on the floor to a forest of light.
Forest of Mononoke by Saki Sonoda brings together laser-cut acrylic, projection, music and live dance in one space. You have to feel it in person.
Dance by @peterxmercury
On view at The Ritual Division in Gowanus through November 8.

Forest of Mononoke by Saki Sonoda is one of the best things we’ve seen done with acrylic this year.
Hundreds of laser-cut fluorescent panels, layered and suspended so the light passes through color after color. Add projection, music and live dance, and the whole room literally comes alive.
Thank you to Saki and the team at The Ritual Division for allowing us to be a part of this project, and to all the artists we got to catch up with. Proud to be part of this community.
On view in Gowanus through November 8. Go see it in person, the photos don’t do it justice.
