Description
In this collection of videos — Talking Picture (The Structure of Film Viewing) and Shadowman (The Structure of Seeing and Hearing) — Takahiko Iimura presents a series of vertiginous videos that explore the experience of looking: watching a film or a video, seeing and being seen.
"Punctuated by a succession of enigmas, these works are infused with a subtle humor (...)."
