The Six Foot Platform presents Eiko Nishida

It is an audience-participatory installation. Each bark incorporates a cut-out word from local or major newspapers in multiple languages distributed in New York. Words are living entities, each shaped with unique meanings by individual perspectives. As audiences engage with the installation, they are encouraged to contemplate their question in the present moment, and select a bark from the multitude available, revealing what the Universe has to say to them.
