GAMUZE 4
Synopsis
The event was held at Shakujii Park in Nerima Ward, Tokyo. As a new twist, I scribbled graffiti and put red star stickers all over the route in advance. Some of them were completely ignored, but others were photographed by several participants. Kamioka brought a radio, Oguchi a Rika-chan doll, and Kaneko a video camera with an LCD monitor. Suzuki also had his child captured on film in advance. But it was Ishii who excelled, shooting the same things as the other participants, but somehow standing out as the most beautiful. I thought that the goddess of 8mm film was smiling on him alone.
Saga: GAMUZE
The “Gamuze,” “Namara,” and ‘Dahan’ are frequently seen in this work, which were produced in collaboration with the "Katsuura Revolutionary University Video Course Practicum. These works were created in a video workshop called "Katsuura Revolutionary University Video Lecture Practicum. The idea for these works came from the experience of “Video Renka,” and after thinking about how to make them more interesting by imposing stricter conditions, I came up with three different concepts, which I named “Gamze,” “Namara,” and “Dadan,” respectively.
GAMUZE 1
The course was set to meet on the rooftop of Shinjuku Odakyu Department Store and penetrate Shinjuku's Kabukicho district. Hirano used Masahiro Sugiyama, the star of his film “The Thunderfish,” to shoot the film, and Hideto Ishii shows his commitment to light. Nanao also brought a saxophonist, Toru Nishiuchi, and had him blow his saxophone in the street, much to the dismay of the audience. The participants on the rooftop at this time can be seen in “Aitai”. As a result, two films were made in one day.
