Norio Imai

A documentary made in collaboration with students at Konan University, retracing the history of EXPO '70 and attempting to track down the actress who performed in Toshio Matsumoto's installation in the Textiles Pavilion, "Space Projection Ako." Featuring interviews with historians, scholars and artists including Yokoo Tadanori, Norio Imai, and more.

Imai films the floor of a room. A 16mm home movie that gives a small impression of how an artist’s mind works when toying with a medium new to him., that of a recording camera. Subtle shifts suggest a drama unfolding out of seemingly nothing.
