POEM

2021
00:02:03
When I looked at Jomon pottery with the naked eye, its distinctive protrusions and patterns made me imagine landscapes, natural phenomena, the forms and movements of living creatures, and even sounds and sensations. The way fragments of various kinds of information intermingle in it feels almost like a poem of the Jomon people. Could these not be related to life forms that the Jomon people ate in order to survive—that is, might they have felt prayer and awe toward the living beings they were given, and might that energy have given rise to the grotesque yet beautiful forms of Jomon pottery? This work was conceived and created based on these ideas.

Mood Hall

Japan | 2019 | Color | DCP | 16:9 | Stereo | 33 min 33 sec | Animation, Experimental, Mystery | No dialogue A dying Earth. A strange game called “Mood Hole,” enjoyed by the surviving people. A mysterious middle-aged gentleman and a beautiful woman who appear and disappear. Little people. Giants. Parties. Deserts. The bottom of a pool. Dancing. Repeated day and night. A dense labyrinthine world woven from experimental, artistic, adventurous, semi-SF, semi-mysterious sketches. A masterpiece that strips away words and leads us into a world of seeing and hearing alone!

Hekohyon Nine | FICFYON NINE [2009 remix] | Re-edited in 2009 (original version produced in 2006) | 5 min. 48 sec. This work was planned and produced in conjunction with participation in “Toride Art Project 2006.” Except for the puppets in the work, the riverbank, buildings, river, sky, and other elements are all real things filmed while staying in Toride City. By collaging these elements and layering model animation, a “landscape of memory” that does not actually exist was reconstructed. The exhibition presented at “Toride Art Project 2006” was a video installation (image projection on walls) in a former sewage treatment tank space within the site of an abandoned sewage treatment plant called “Shuumatsu Shorijo” (“Final Processing Plant”). The excessively wide aspect ratio of the screen was determined by the proportions of the concrete wall at the time. (Width: 7 m; using three projectors) For a solo exhibition the following year, in 2007, a first “re-edited version” was produced. Materials obtained during a trip to the Spring Koshien tournament (people, national flags, audio, etc.) were added. In 2009, a second re-edited version of this work was produced. With music and sound design by Morihiko Hara, all audio was replaced.

COLUMBOS

2012

Columbos｜2012｜9 min. 15 sec. A "semi-mystery told through a fractured narrative" that unfolds in a television drama soundstage built around an anamorphic spatial composition. Original model figures are composited with 3DCG backgrounds and sets. Based on stop-motion animation techniques, the work uses After Effects to create the texture of slow-motion footage shot with a high-speed camera. Grand Prix for Best Animated Short in the International Short Film Competition at the 53rd Krakow Film Festival (Poland/2013), Honorary Mention in the Computer Animation/Film/VFX category at Ars Electronica Festival 2014 (Austria/2014).
