As part of Various Others 2025, space n.n. will show the work of choreographer and dancer Osamu Shikichi. Born in Japan (1994), currently based in Tokyo and Brussels, Shikichi begins their practice by questioning the human body, which we often take for granted, and challenging the notion of bodily self-possession. Their work explores the idea of an anonymous body, blurring and remixing our ways of identifying with human bodies. This creates a new perspective on human bodies while focusing on the politics and violence of the gaze.
“When the eyes lick images” will open on Friday May 9th with a performance by Osamu Shikichi. Further performances will happen through the opening weekend. Opening and performance hours will be announced soon.
