How Did I Get Here?

​'How Did I Get Here?' is my first solo performance work and part of my HERE NOW Trilogy. It investigates how our perception of time changes as we age, and how we recognize and accept our own mortality as we enter the autumn phase of life. 

​Duration 13 minutes

Created and performed by Ryuichi Fujimura

​Video Art: Laura Turner

Design Consultant: Tobhiyah Stone Feller
