Description
"Time is, as John Cage said about music, the most important question in cinema."
— Takahiko Iimura
"By focusing on this set of concerns, often mistakenly perceived as 'minimalist,' Iimura has gone far, far beyond any other filmmaker in exploring a kind of art-science. This attention to the experience of time, to its measured passage and to the analogy between time and space, constitutes the principal recurring theme at the heart of his work."
— Malcolm Le Grice, author of Abstract Film and Beyond, MIT Press
