Evoco Project  is a multi-stage performance and painting practice ongoing since 2011, rooted in the transmutation of memory.

The process begins with a body. Midori binds a participant in rope — shifting their proprioceptive awareness, their felt sense of body in space — then washes sumi ink over them and presses paper upon the form. Sometimes this occurs within a larger performance; often the participant is simply someone wishing to be documented in the here and now. Chance determines the result: an abstract imprint more truthful to the moment than any photograph, a real mark of a body in time.

Months later, she returns to the imprints and selects one. She sits in deep meditative absorption with it — unmoving, staring — until images surface from that sustained attention. She paints from those visions.

Each scroll is mounted in the tradition of kakemono — the hanging paintings of traditional Japanese homes, intended to reflect seasonality, philosophy, and invite contemplation. It becomes an object of ongoing reflection, holding the gap between moment and recollection. The Evoco Project spans multiple cities; each scroll holds the coordinates of its making.
