Red cloth, yellow cloth, blue cloth
On the drying line
My eyes cannot see the blue
As the other two
Glare at my stare
and, set my eyes ablaze
Yellow cloth, blue cloth, red cloth
water dripping from you
drying on the clothesline
yellow water from yellow
pink water from red
black from blue
Blue cloth, red cloth, yellow cloth
I have always known you
long and crumpled
drying on the clothes line
red stain on yellow
brown stain on red
white on blue
Frangipani,
Come here will you
I want to fold you
into a ring
Or maybe
into a bunny
to rest between my
Two fingers
You look so fair
In front of those full leaves
You cannot hide Frangipani
This is a poster for a performance in MoMA choreographed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker called ‘Work/Travail/Arbeid’ which means Work/Work/Work it’s about how the chaotic and the hectic cycle of people is unending. For this piece she assigned one dancer to one instrument. The performance itself is 9 hours long. It’s my love for this piece that made me want to do something about this.
The credits for this poster got to Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, MoMA and the videographer of the piece.
I shut the door
THUD
My mother, my uncle and my grandmother turned to look at me.
My mother asked, “Why are you panting?, Did you run?”
I stood there in shock, breathless
My mother standing at the kitchen table, turned to her stripping
leaves from the stalk, uncle sleeping on the sofa flipping channels, mother glanced at me again,
“Why did you run?”
There was silence.
My grandmother was busy cleaning a pot.
“i was touched”
Silence
My mother took a deep breath
It was my uncle who broke the silence,”The roads are very dangerous these days no?”. He said to my mother. Got up from the sofa and walked inside towards the kitchen table.
I was standing there. All I could feel was my cheeks, they were turning hotter and my ears, they were experiencing a kind of ringing which I prided myself for having every now and then as I believed it to be and still do to be the sound of the universe.
My grandmother was scrubbing off any dust she could find on the pot.
My mother, stripping the leaves from the stalk asked me, “do you want Upma or Idli we have both.”
i never liked upma

This is a poster of a Yayoi Kusama Exhibition in the Mori Arts Museum in Tokyo. I made the poster in a similar format to the usual museum posters in Japan. They are either bilingual or they make identical posters in Japanese and English. I tried my hand at making my first bilingual poster. I am learning Japanese right now so, that helped me at putting this together.
This is not an exhibition that took place. The photograph used in this design is not mine, the credit has been given to the artist and the photographer in the work itself.
