The profound social change and political unrest in 1960s Japan detonated an artistic explosion that upended the culture. Amélie Ravalec’s film documents the avant-garde artists of this period: pioneers of experimental and erotic photography, underground street theater, Butoh dance, surreal illustrations, and radical graphic design (including that of Tadanori Yokoo, who is featured in in our exhibition Cut + Paste). These innovators not only transformed traditional art forms but also generated revolutionary new ones. Immerse yourself in the political and aesthetic revolution that remains provocative to this day.
(Dir.: Amélie Ravalec, United Kingdom/Japan/France, 2025, 100 min., DCP, English and Japanese with English subtitles)
