Shingo Yoshida is travelling most of the time. With the mileage he accumulated last year he was able to
travel to Chile to look into ‘Friendship’ a mysterious island of the Guaitecas archipelago that is not on
the map
but that the people of the South know through rumours of extraterrestrial beings and miraculous healings.
Toto Island is part of the same archipelago to which Shingo travelled with an improvised manual for basic communication, containing ready made phrases in Spanish regarding the purpose of his trip. The manual,
an old radio and his video camera would be the only means to establish contacts and collect information
on the Friendship enigma. ¿Sabe usted algo de la isla Friendship? (What Do You Know About Friendship Island?)
is a video installation
opening on Friday 7 of September in MAC Quinta Normal (Santiago, Chile) at 19:30 hrs.
