Taiwan Banzai

Chenggong Town (Taitung County) has a population of approximately 15,000 people. This area, located in the southeastern part of Taiwan and surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and mountain ranges, has been home to many Japanese and Han Chinese people since the completion of the fishing port in 1932, creating a fishing and agricultural town. Japanese immigrants brought swordfish fishing with a stick, and this fishing method is still used today. Atsuko Sakai depicts the people who have lived facing the sea and the land even as times have changed, living their lives honestly, placing "prayer", "gratitude for life" and "family" at the center of them. The final chapter of Sakai's Taiwanese trilogy.

time space motion

The light through the window was recorded at time compressed to one hundred twentieth during the season when the altitude of the sun is the lowest. The light deeply went into architecture lighted up form of space and expression of the structure. I imagine the existence of the atmosphere and infinite course of the light through flickering variation. If time is defined as a motion of sunlight by Earth’s rotation, I can say that I’m observing “time” as well as space and light.

If Frames Disappeared from the World

Frames have already disappeared from the world, but what about moving image expression? I tried making it recognized that physical frames no longer exist in modern moving image production, paradoxically by constructing a virtual film strip in a digital space. I shot frames of 8mm films one by one with a digital single-lens reflex camera with a macro-cine copy. After digitizing the frames I arranged them lengthways one by one. Now it was possible to see the virtual long strip consisted of more than 100 frames through a virtual camera from any distance. I started from the farthest distance where the each frame can be recognized and gradually dived into the film strip. By doing so the work features that it is the most essential element of film that intermittent movement generate dynamism. I’d like to suggest that disappearance of physical frames is not a niche problem that matters only when producing experimental films but a problem that all kinds of moving image expression have in common

The Grudge: Video Karma

All spiritual phenomena are cause and effect. Human karma is deeply involved. Those who have been consumed by negative karma. Those who are caught up in the karma of others and wander in darkness. They still cannot be exorcised, but appear as retribution to those who have the same negative karma. This collection of images is a compilation of images of the spiritual phenomena that have been recorded and handed to us to be verified as the retribution of karma. Those who feel the karma of this collection of images must be equally possessed by the same karma.

Love Phantom

A high school boy is dozing on the train when from his chest, something sticks out as if his heart or soul were escaping. This is a kind of game that Japanese boys play, hiding one arm under their shirts and moving it back and forth. It is usually just a simple trick used to surprise someone, but Takata wanted to convert this silly boy’s prank into a more romantic gesture where the high school boy is flirting with another boy sitting next to him, using the tentacle-like appendage protruding from his chest.
