BLISTER SANCTUM

2026

is a cyberfeminist performance parody on the murky threshold between transformation and violation in spiritual environments. Centered around a faceless creature who dances across the sacred island of Yakushima, BLISTER SANCTUM distorts and re-enacts both sides of cult leader and follower; abuser and victim, in a single body. This is a discordant experimentation with human yearning: repotting a field recording of collectivist eco-spiritual discourse within an isolated virtual-reality installation. You are invited to meditate on the liminal cracks of vulnerability, where both healing sprouts from and abuse seeps in.

“Shot across the secluded, subtropical island of Yakushima, home to ancient cedar forests, wild macaques, and fog-soaked ravines, BLISTER SANCTUM emerges from a process of embodied risk. Filmed by a man I had just met while hitchhiking, I performed the score naked and blindfolded by hair. I moved in states of hyperactivity, dissociation, and hypersexuality on repeat, cycling through a loop of post-traumatic response with no climax or resolution. Here, Yuki’s own wounds become her reality; her sanctuary, submerged in subconscious memory.”

This project is the Suko/Yuki edition of the artist’s backwards wig series Suko/Suko, which performs an ongoing entrapment of the female body through a hybrid of Japanese postwar ‘butoh’ dance and non-binary drag.
