She was given an entire unused primary school building to occupy with her art installations. Based on a traditional form of street storytelling known as Kamishibai (paper stories) I developed a performance work that told the story of Maria Fernanda&#8217;s life as an international artist, her invititation to show in Suzu and how she worked with local volunteers to develop and realise her ambitious installation shown in the Triennale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My script was translated into Japanese and naive paintings based on my collage sketches were prepared in the kamishibai format by a local artist. The story was performed by local Suzu women for audiences sitting on tatami mats in a custom-renovated room of the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional early 20th-century kamishibai practitioners travelled between villages on bicycles. A small theatre frame on the back of the bike was used to show sequences of 15 or 16 paintings to illustrate the narrated tales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-680\" src=\"http:\/\/www.garywarner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sigange_w-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.garywarner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sigange_w-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.garywarner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sigange_w-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.garywarner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sigange_w-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.garywarner.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/sigange_w.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<\/p>\n<p>Kamishibai &#8211; Oku-Noto Triennale, Suzu, Japan 2023Artist Maria Fernanda Cardoso invited me to collaborate with her in the production of new work for the inaugural Oku-Noto Triennale in Suzu, Japan.
