one dance/one video/one day



“One dance / one video / one day” is very simple video dance project. The idea is just taking one shot of short improvisation and update to the internet everyday. Like a diary, he took several videos in the French old building of Performing Arts Forum under the programme of SKITe/Sweet and Tender 2007 annual meeting.

This is quite simple action to be apart from the way of creating the piece based on any concept. What Hajime did was just being honext for the intitution of his artistic sense. Find a place, find a flame, find a time, find movements, all the process were improvised. Even there were no editing of video, just shows what happens there and then entirely.

On the internet, 7 versions of videos are avaiable to watch. These videos shows Fujita’s eye for the frame of screen as well. For instance, version. 21/8/2007 was shooted on the dark room with just one small desk light, which placed on the left of screen, behind dark green wall. The camera cut the wall very flat. And Fujita was almost naked and first starts to sit down the chair on the right of the screen. The frame of image is like the picture. Or the version. 16/8/2007 shows the sky of dawning with almost half of the screen.
