The work was made as part of a workshop and as an exhibited work for the Japan Media Arts Festival in Kagoshima.

TOCHIKA (NAGATA Takeshi + MONNO Kazue)

A creative unit active since 1998. Both members were born in 1978. In 2006 they came up with “PiKAPiKA”, a ground-breaking visual style in which animation is created by combining long exposure and stop motion techniques in digital videography and drawing pictures with the illumination cast by a penlight suspended in the air. Employing this and other techniques, their activities in a variety of fields including commercial films and modern art transcend the boundaries of specific industries.
