Inari Kūko is the link between two worlds: the spiritual way and the way of calligraphy. We will see from her hand the nature of the island, the temples of the Shikoku Henro, and we will witness her learning of calligraphy, touring the different places and meting the craftsmen associated with the materials needed to make the writing.
Her mission is free: it is based on learning and helping along the way, as her powers are to bring blessings wherever she goes. We will have appearances learning and performing Shodō, and scenes in which she will perform some magic trick. It should be noted that the artist will be the one who will conduct the interviews to the different calligraphy masters, experts in the way and artisans.
She carries a Super 8 mm camera, with which she covers her journey and experience: Meta-Kūko. Thus, she will give us her vision of what she experienced, so we will get two views of the path: an omnipotent and more academic one that portrays her; and another artistic and subjective one from Inari herself.
Thus, the photograph that we will use to frame the artist will be subtle, mysterious, with games of reflections, reveries, insinuating her figure and we will never end up seeing her face; while the one she makes will be more experimental, playing with old analogical films. She will look for apparent “mistakes”, peculiar color shifts, games of blurring with manual lenses and a whole series of resources that can be considered “vintage” or “nostalgic” in her captures.
