Body & Sound of I & Eye (U): Bookperformance is initiated by the author and created through body and sound of the textual being (langauge) and actual being (human) of both the author and the inspired reader/audience on the stage. It is to showcase how a notebook/manuscript becomes a book, from the day-dreams to its destination: readers. The co-created artworks on stage represent the manuscripts of a material book and are exhibited. Once sold, the revenue totally goes towards planting of trees. This is both the sensibility and the power of this performance, which in all senses naturally contributes to the life on Earth. Authorship is shared.
