It doesn't matter.
It's one country.
It's one culture.
How do I process that?
Probably because I have an output in doing things like films or books and other activities, acting, operas.
Also things in between writing and filmmaking.
I did an installation for the Whitney Museum, Hearsay of the Soul,
which was partially music, partially images.
And it was a wonderful, wonderful task for me.
And very strange because I immediately refused the offer to do an installation for the Whitney Biennale.
They said to me on the phone, ''Ah, yeah, but you're an artist.
Aren't you an artist yourself?''
And I said, ''No, I'm not an artist.
I'm a soldier.''
And hung up.
Sorry, it's much, much more embarrassing.
It's so embarrassing that I have difficulties to even speak about it.
I staged the world premiere of an opera of a contemporary Japanese composer who wanted me desperately to stage it for the first time in the world.
And it was somehow known in the media that I was working in the city and not the emperor himself.
It was from his office, cautiously, an official stretched out the feelers where I could meet the emperor in a private audience.
