Meiro Koizumi
Born in Gunma in 1976. Based in Kanagawa.
Meiro Koizumi explores the relationships between a nation/a community and a person, and the relationships between the human body and emotions through his experimental videos and performances mixed with reality and imagination. “Can people sacrifice themselves/Would they be forgiven if they kill someone else to save a country or to protect their beloved ones?” Seeking the answer to this ultimate question, he examines the “mechanism” of how violence and self-sacrifice are produced through the interviews with former soldiers. His theatrical videos make the audience “experience” the feelings of reality, dream, past, future, despair, hope, hate, love, victims and attackers, which critically reflects the society.
