Recorded in the static between the wailing trains of Tokyo and the airs a midwinter Egypt, Masha joins Chi Chi to initiate his three part exploration into holocaust art, starting off with THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL by Anne Frank and Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 SUSPIRIA. Female bodies pregnant with the weight of genocide, the arrival of period blood marking the first steps into a cosmic understanding of life and death, dances ritualizing the pain of knowledge, the curse of awareness over ignorance, the power of Geminis and a dream of a chesnut tree outside the window, somewhere you can’t quite get to yet and may never get to in your short lifetime, but one you can dream of nonetheless… knowing yourself and thus knowing all things at once… a sliced up pear.
