Convenience Papa

A year into his new life in Tokyo, Matsuo has become accustomed to the city after marrying his pen pal, but there is only one thing he can't stand: convenience stores. He summons up his courage and stands in front of the automatic door, trying to be a perfect urbanite. The cynical dialogue has a unique rhythm and fires like a machine gun. The screen, which never stops changing, merges and engages the audience, shouting out what a metropolis is and what humanity is all about. Matsuo embraces his Dutch wife and swims out to sea alone, only the cold waves gently enveloping him.

It was produced to be exhibited at the “Personal Focus” (April 23-8, 1985), a three-minute, 8mm film screening held in Fukuoka. Digitized the original 8mm film that Matsumoto had been stored. The concept of this works is same as Delay Exposure, but in this film, it begins with a sequence that sets the aperture to excessive exposure. During a one to two-second-long shoot, the camera zooms in, the automatic exposure device also follows the movement of the image, and immediately lights the screen with proper exposure. This short sequence combined with a series of shots in the background, is processed.
