Amy In-Part
The body is more honest than the heart. The body’s nostalgia for an old lover can be stronger than the will of a newfound solidarity and confidence. The mere tilt of the chin, a subtle arch in the back, a pursed lip, all reveal the unspoken expectations behind the veil of “face”.
With Amy – In Part, Blaz and Amy Nishiyama guides us on a voyeur’s expedition, catching sight bites that tell the story we can’t see. Amy – In Part betrays the silence of the heart hiding behind as interpretation of the past as the flesh recalls the true essence in the memories of the body.
In tandem, Blaz and Amy take us on a journey of the struggle to hide those deep seeded memories as raw as the flesh that speaks their existence. It is the never- ending trial to regain the sense of “self”.
