The Klingon Tea Ceremony - An Ephemeral Installation and Performance
Megumi Fukuda and Echo Ho are both interdisciplinary artists from Japan and China respectively, working and residing in Germany. Their recent encounters have evoked an intensive personal, cultural, and artistic exchange to create a unique experience spurning their first collaborative art project: Klingon Tea Ceremony.
In this project, the focus is on the interests of exploring and reflecting the intersection between artificial and natural, between perfection and imperfection. The performance will be a distanced observation into the habit of tea drinking and instrument playing as a ritualistic ceremony. Furthermore, a way of self-cultivation in communication with the participant, this artwork refers to the highly defined aesthetics of the art of living.
