In this sense, it is both a musical and audiovisual composition, as well as a performative investigation about time and labour. The body of the artist in the piece is just a part of an elaborate time and space system. The human and non-human elements on stage are choreographed under an intricate structure of images, which together form symbolic narratives of leisure time, relaxation, holidays and exotisism. They become part of what is known in capitalism as the tourism industry.<\/p>\n<p>The origin of the piece can be traced in the artist\u2019s experience of encountering the commodification of free time in this industry. His body (in the piece actually a \u200bworking body) was foreign to the imagery of commodified leisure, and in the performance he experiences it. From his Japanese background\u2014where the labour market has one of the shortest minimum annual leave in the world\u2014the body has to adapt to the overwhelming input of a postfordian consume of a commodified experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nile Koetting<\/strong> (b. 1989, Japan), is an artist currently lives and works in Berlin. Koetting works with a diverse range of media, including text, film, performance, sound, and installation.His work is connected through the constant presence of the theme of \u201cresonance\u201d and &#8220;sensing&#8221;. After completing studies in media, sound art, performance art in Tokyo and Helsinki, Koetting became active in performance, sound and installation work. Koetting\u2019s work has been presented at \u201cNew Sensorium\u201d (ZKM, Karlsruhe), \u201cRoppongi Crossing 2016\u201d (Mori Art Museum, Tokyo), \u00a0\u201cLiaisons Ambigues\u201d (Maison Hermes, Fondation d\u2019entreprise Herm\u00e8s, Tokyo) and \u201cMade in Germany Drei\u201d at Kunstverein Hannover in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nileshaw.org\">http:\/\/nileshaw.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nile Koetting performance is supported by the Saison Foundation, Japan<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-450\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/saison_e_logo-300x18.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/saison_e_logo-300x18.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/07\/saison_e_logo.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-214\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12322970_1526319847693844_19197593479084130_o-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12322970_1526319847693844_19197593479084130_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12322970_1526319847693844_19197593479084130_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12322970_1526319847693844_19197593479084130_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12322970_1526319847693844_19197593479084130_o.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-255\" src=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12291842_1526319854360510_6166422746747301215_o-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"611\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12291842_1526319854360510_6166422746747301215_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12291842_1526319854360510_6166422746747301215_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12291842_1526319854360510_6166422746747301215_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/12291842_1526319854360510_6166422746747301215_o.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Read the <a href=\"http:\/\/livebiennale.ca\/2017\/2017\/10\/28\/coming-alive-a-review-of-2017-live-biennale-performances\/\">full review of LIVE 2017<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Join us, follow us, engage with us.
