Taku Furukawa

An animated film based on one of the renku (collaborative linked poems) in the 1684 collection of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō. The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material – the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by 35 different animators. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names in animation from across the world. Each animator was asked to contribute at least 30 seconds to illustrate their stanza, and most of the sequences are under a minute (Yuriy Norshteyn's, though, is nearly two minutes long).

The rise of man has been filled with toils and adventures, from learning to build fire to turning to religion, from going into space to inventing feature films and beyond. Though each space flight seems to result in a sharp jab in the eye for the moon, there's still plenty to explore in the path of human history. Whether it’s roasting pigs or cooking ramen on the stove, experience the journey of a man in a high speed society. Short film chronicling human progress, or lack of it.

An old couple went to Tokyo to see their kids.

A Japanese urbanite who aspires to be a modern Tarzan, pays a visit to a country in Africa, in search of the thrill of the jungle and thus satisfies his yearning for a more raw and authentic way of life, thus realizing how the two worlds are alike.

When taking a microscopic view of a dot of the printer ink, it begins to transform into unstable forms. The other sphere/eyeball which appears when moving away from the dot, suggests the overlay of the swaying of the retina that occurs when staring, and the motion within animation.

By scratching the surface of a polaroid photograph before the emulsion dries, the work abstracts the interior space of the frame. Positioned as if being locked inside the frame, the mobility of the subject becomes accentuated.
