PROLOGUE #2
Synopsis
Born in 1964, graduated from Tama Art University with a degree in Fine Arts. During his university days, he formed an indie band with his classmates and was active for several years. He then began filmmaking under the tutelage of Sakumi Hagiwara. In his early works, he created numerous pieces characterized by a "structural style that manipulates light, objects (or the film itself) through frame-by-frame editing." Eventually, his works began to incorporate narrative elements and shifted toward a more analytical exploration of his inner world. In 1994, the premiere screening of "Cat Ears" (1994) at the East Gallery in Ebisu achieved record attendance. Additionally, he has collaborated with performance units and directed the video opera "Satyricon" (2004), consistently exploring boundary-crossing visual expressions.
