Haino
Invernomuto
In 2023, Invernomuto was invited to develop the visual component for a live performance by Keiji Haino scheduled to take place in Turin. The European tour was ultimately cancelled due to the serious illness of one of Haino’s beloved cats. A couple of years later, Invernomuto and Haino- san unexpectedly met in a more personal, informal setting at La Becque’s Principal Residency Program on the Swiss shores of Lake Leman. During his stay, Haino performed an intimate concert in the small village church nearby.
The work includes the show in its entirety, while Keiji Haino himself appears only as a ghostly retinal afterimage. Phaibun, La Becque’s resident cat, wanders through the church as a liminal presence, suspended between two dimensions. The piece is intended to be perceived as a complete – yet almost invisible – concert document, in keeping with the region’s enduring tradition of preserving live performances as audiovisual records.
