Maiko Jinushi investigates the concept of analogical reasoning often used in storytelling as a means to disclose differences of perception and interpretations of the world. “I have produced a new type of literature, a combination of video art, installation and performance, which strongly relates to traditional forms of literature such as poems and novels. In my definition, a new type of literature is the mixture of speech, reading scripts, dialogues and writings, which compose the structure of a story.”
