Artist in Residency: YARITORI 2026

蚕 Kaiko

An artistic research project that begins from the image of the silkworm, inspired by a poem by Misuzu Kaneko. The residency will serve as the starting point for new modern-music drawing an arc between Misuzu Kaneko, Sylvia Plath, and contemporary poets.

The project explores the figure of the woman, her artistic autonomy, and the ways in which depression and suicide appear across cultures as different as the Japanese and the Western ones. The motivation is deeply personal: it stems from the loss of an artist friend and teacher who chose to end his life, and from the search for a way to process grief through artistic language.

Kaiko focuses on the intimacy of isolation, the universe of dreams, sleep and death, and the vulnerability of speaking about these themes. A dialogue between voices of the last century and of today in order to decode a phenomenon that remains painfully present.
