蒼白の影 (Pale Figure)

Pale Figure is a love letter to Shūji Terayama and the spirit of Japanese New Wave. A collage of cinematic fragments and samples from Terayama’s movies with experimental soundscapes. Terayama is a figure who has greatly influenced my artistic work, with his surreal and raw movies, a very intimate and experimental cinema wich I love more than anything. My first introduction to his work was The Labyrinth Tale, recommended by one of my professors. I then spent many hours watching and studying his work. Just like my previous work on the film La Jetée (1962) by Chris Marker, I strongly encourage you to discover Terayama’s body of work.
