This June, we are delighted to present a screening of The Avant-Garde Senjutsu (Zen’ei senjutsu) by the late Katsu Kanai. A “super documentary” that follows Kanai’s experimentation with computer technology, its premise is Kanai’s attempt to master “senjutsu,” an ancient art that aimed to achieve immortality.
This July, we are delighted to present the second episode in our focus on the late Katsu Kanai. In his first video work, Kanai transforms the garden of his own home, through which a small stream quietly flows, into a stage for patient observation of life.
Over this August and September, we are delighted to present the third part in our series focused on the late Katsu Kanai. This month’s work is The Stormy Times (1991), a “collection of visual poems” modeled on the forms of traditional Japanese poetry.
We are immensely saddened to hear of the passing of our collaborator Yasunao Tone, with whom we were privileged to work with over the years.
