Akio Suzuki & Aki Onda

The final moments of Akio Suzuki and Aki Onda's live performance October 1, 2015 at the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York as part of their "ke i te ki" US Tour, organized by ISSUE Project Room.

Onda and Suzuki perform by utilizing unconventional and self-made instruments including analog cassette Walkmans and radios, found pieces of wood, nails, hammers, buckets, marbles, and glass jars, allowing the individual architecture and acoustics of the site to guide the flow and development of the performance. The performance begins with the artists in the middle of the space, surrounded by the audience, before gradually moving throughout the environment as the work unfolds.

Recorded live 1 Oct 2015
