How to disappear (completely): Re-naturalization

In Chinese tradition, matters concerning the psyche and attainment of deeper insight are often approached via the body, not via the cognitive reflection. The basic idea of the Chinese martial Art T’ai chi ch'uan (or Tai Chi) is linked to the philosophical principle that, if one uses hardness to resist violent force, then both sides are certainly to be injured. Instead, students are taught not to directly fight or resist an incoming force, but to meet it in softness and follow its motion while remaining in physical contact until the incoming force of attack exhausts itself or can be redirected.

Willimann/Arai take this idea as a base for the development of a series around the process of disappearing - physically or metaphorically, temporarily and at least partially in order to integrate, to become part of, to gradually disappear in a "foreign" environment.
