In 2018, fourteen years after her first works in the a priori series, a personal event led Yoko Mazuki to think again about the human body, its signals, its language, its limits and its connections. The images blend photographic expression, dance, gesture, truth, nature and artifice, and seem to rise out of darkness to explore as much as to express. In the afterword Mazuki writes of communicating a language that does not require words, from body to body and from skin to skin, and of what is revealed beyond what the eye sees: invisible, inaudible, but certainly felt, communicated by a language more direct than words.
