In their work, Willimann/Arai (Zurich/Tokyo) question modern and colonial dichotomous narratives such as West/East, Self/Other, Nature/Culture. In collaboration with visitors, local communities and experts, Nina Willimann and Mayumi Arai create arrangements and narratives of the "in-between" in context-specific and research-based working processes.

Since 2015 Willimann/Arai have been developing four main research-based "umbrella"-projects, which are interconnected: How to disappear (completely), Swiss Gymnastics, The gift exercise and Avatar tours. The format Reflections is a series of Lecture-Performances in which Willimann/Arai focus on recurring topics in their projects by summarizing, analyzing and applying them with artistic means.
