With the core members Shin Sasakubo and Daisuke Aoki, as well as a revolving set of members depending on the contents of the work, the CHICHIBU AVANT-GARDE art collective engages in expressive activities such as music, film, art, photography, writing, and theater. Filmed in 8 mm film there is a distinctive color and texture, and a seemingly nostalgic impression from the land pattern of Chichibu that is the stage, but it has an unknown sense of apprehension. A variety of emotions and scenes come to light, such as a sense of frustration, relief or fear, some kind of madness, or warmth.
