In the Wilderness. Tedious even repetitive metropolitan work and life have alienated the spirit from the body, and further downgraded the body into flesh. Inspired by the novel No Longer Human by Japanese author Osamu Dazai, the first scene of In the Wilderness by artist Beio discusses how a modern man gets obsessed with the body, disciplines the body and ultimately disengages from the body. The final act is inspired by the story of Inanna’s descent into the underworld in Sumerian religion. It is one of the key text related with Beio’s recent practice, about the descending state of human being, how life have alienated the spirit from the body, and further downgraded the body into flesh.
