 :">From the MoMA website:</a>\n\nWorking in video and performance\, Meiro 
 Koizumi (Japanese\, b. 1976) has  built a compelling body of work that dea
 ls with power dynamics on scales  from the familial to the national\, and 
 examines questions of political  and psychological control. Implicating hi
 mself\, his performers\, and the  viewer through choreographed emotional m
 anipulations\, Koizumi creates  works that straddle the uncomfortable and 
 indefinable line between  cruelty and comedy. His first solo museum presen
 tation in the United  States\, <em>Projects 99</em> includes a selection o
 f earlier projects\, as well as <em>Defect in Vision</em> (2011)\, Meiro&r
 squo\;s most ambitious and accomplished project to date.  Probing the idea
  of blindness&mdash\;both philosophical and physical&mdash\;the piece  is 
 projected on two sides of a single screen\, preventing the viewer from  ta
 king in both views at once. The action follows two performers who  repeate
 dly enact a domestic scene set during World War II. While staged  in the h
 istorical past\, the scene&rsquo\;s portent of impending catastrophe has  
 taken on a new relevance following the Fukushima nuclear disaster\, in a  
 work that is incisive\, thought-provoking\, and visually lush.
