ABOUT THE FILM
The 1960s in Japan was a time of profound social change, political unrest and student protests. The turbulent times of the postwar era inspired an artistic explosion in Japan, with the emergence of a revolutionary scene of avant-garde artists who pioneered many disciplines: experimental and erotic photography, "Angura" theater and underground street performances, apocalyptic Butoh dance, surrealist illustration and groundbreaking graphic design.
A new aesthetic of photography was born: "Are, Bure, Boke" (rough, dark and blurry), pioneered by Moriyama Daidō and the photographers of Provoke magazine. Araki embellished bondage, and Hosoe Eikoh sublimated the male body. Ishiuchi Miyako captured her experiences on American military bases. Kawada Kikuji's era-defining photo book The Map captured the poignant trauma of Hiroshima.
Underground theater master Terayama Shūji created countless magical, surreal and vividly colorful films, plays and photo books, Yokoo Tadanori and Awazu Kiyoshi revolutionized graphic design with their incandescent theater posters, Tanaami Keiichi, Japan's answer to Andy Warhol, developed his unique kaleidoscopic vision of Pop Art, and Butoh founders Hijikata Tatsumi and Ohno Kazuo forever influenced modern dance with their dance of darkness and light.
