Naked

Naked is a "living" environmental installation created for and commissioned by the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, where EIko & Koma were "on view" all the hours the museum was open for the month of November 2010. Eiko & Koma performed the total of 144 hours.

Naked is inspired by Breath, Eiko & Koma's 1998 living installation at the Whitney Museum. Naked continues their Whitney experiment 12 years later, exploring themes of nakedness, desire, and the elasticity of time. Unlike the single body that was present in Breath, both Eiko & Koma are always on view during Naked, in much closer proximity to viewers than they have ever allowed themselves.
