Synopsis Artist Information Date & Time
Synopsis

Time to Heal examines how healing is constructed across different medical and cultural frameworks, specifically stem cell research and traditional medicine practice. These systems reveal divergent understandings of the body, memory and time.

 

In this public programme, Yuske Taninaka presents research developed during his residency through movement. Visits to medical halls, pharmacies and clinics, and conversations with practitioners, have been translated into performance scores that allow the body itself to become a site of inquiry.

Artist Information

Yuske Tainaka

Instagram

Yuske Taninaka is an artist currently based in Berlin, working across sculpture and performance. His practice explores the agency of bodies shaped by vulnerability and care, drawing on both medical science and East Asian cosmology to investigate how body can be understood through its capacity for transformation and healing. His performances and installations emerge from a dialogue between movement and material, questioning how we sense, share, and survive within shifting conditions.

 

His stage performances include Gallop (HZT/Uferstudios, Berlin and Co-Festival, Ljubljana 2022) and 空気きまぐれ (English translation: Air Crip) (Kyoto Art Center 2023).
