Synopsis:

Junk : Surreal imagery is used effectively to dramatize the slow ecological destruction brought about by a wasteful industrialized society. Shot at the Tokyo Bay beach, a dumpsite for all the city's human, animal and industrial wastes in the 60s. Ai : The act of making love seen through close-up and magnifying lens. On Eye Rape, 1962: The original film was rescued from a Tokyo trash bin. It is an American sexual education film in which plant and animal sex are explained. I, together with an artist friend, Natsuyuki Nakanishi, punched big holes in almost all of the frames. It was a protest against Japanese censorship of explicit images of sex, particularly pubic hair which the censors would cover with black marks. I inserted a few subliminal frames of pornographic imagery from magazines several times throughout the film. At the end, I even punched holes in these subliminal pictures, thereby 'censoring' the censored image. A Dance Party in the Kingdom of Lilliput, No. 1 : A slightly absurd, and improvised comedy play with Sho Kazakura that took inspiration from a novel by Franz Kafka. The film presents a number of very short scenes or chapters showing single or combined actions.
