Erika Matsunami's diverse works encompass sculpture, photography, video, performance art, and mixed-media installations. A key focus is the serial project “still/silent,” documented from 2007 to 2010. This project originated from Matsunami's collaboration with composer Antonis Anissegos and evolved with Chris Dahlgren and Niklas Schmincke. Conceived in Hiroshima, Matsunami's birthplace and the site of the first atomic bomb, “still/silent” explores themes of collective memory and personal identity, linking them to concepts of variation. By re-contextualizing space and media, her work highlights the identity-forming potential of remembrance. The project’s open structure allows for an exploration of silence and peace through diverse performance venues, transforming medium and memory. The catalogue features photographs and video stills from various stages of development, offering insights into Matsunami's artistic methods and collaborations. Conversations among the artists and interviews with curators delve into the social dimensions of artistic mediation. Essays by Dr. Miya Yoshida, Prof. Dr. Susanne Hauser, Natasha Bordiglia, and Prof. Gye-Joong Kim examine cultural differences and their balance in art.
