A participatory event by Elke Reinhuber, a biennale artist.
The Urban Beautician tries to emphasise or even improve neglected details in our urban environment with non-intrusive interventions and performances to camera. Since more than two decades, she takes care of things no one else does. These overlooked details in urban space gain a new breath of life through performance, installations, video and photography.
Now in Tokyo, she invites her audience to join her on a walk through different areas to support her in identifying aspects that could do with some corrections. An introductory lecture performance will provide further insight to her approach before joining her to observe and document the nooks and crannies of the city with her ironic perfectionism.
What to Bring
Camera or mobile phone, rubber gloves
