Koki Nakano - Oceanic Feeling (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/48]

The expression 'Oceanic feeling' is coined by Romain Rolland in a 1927 in the letter to Sigmund Freud to refer to "a sensation of ‘eternity’", a feeling of "being one with the external world as a whole".

According to Rolland, this feeling is the source of all the religious energy that permeates in various religious systems.

Personally, this sort of feeling is linked to the question about the boundaries around our entity which I conceived when I watched the dance piece ' SARA' by Sharon Eyal (I still didn't know about the word Oceanic Feeling that time).

A feeling like the one below came to me.

At the very end of ’SARA’, when the dancers finished the piece gently forming all together a sleeping pose, it seemed as though they were to be back in their original state.

This led me even further to wonder about the limit of our bodies or even our individualities themselves. It sometimes appears to me to be so variable and ambiguous.

This experience reminded me of the image of a baby in the womb. In my mother's body, I was floating in the water (the components of amniotic fluid are nearly the same as the ones of the ocean), and I was still connected to the other person by the umbilical code.
