A program of five short films with the concept of Ma, a Japanese word for a space in between objects, and intervals of space/time as inseparable. Ma is a traditional concept present in Japanese aesthetics as well as in everyday life. (T.I) Iimura closely examines the Japanese concept of “ma” through his filmed composition on the zen garden at Ryoan-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan. In progress since 1977, this series of short films includes the headlined film, which won the UNESCO International Festival of Film on Art award for film on Architecture, in 1991. In English, there is no word for “ma” – loosely, the interval between objects or events that gives form to the whole – although music could not exist without it, and the experience of intervals is part of every moment. In the zen garden one encounters both time and space – Iimura’s films on MA: Ryoan-ji give us the opportunity to dwell in and learn to recognize this concept which is at once aesthetic and philosophical, and also part of our lived experience as humans. - continues -

art object "One Second Loop reviewed

Taka iimura's multiple art object "One Second Loop" was reviewed* in recent October magazine,#137, MIT Press, in the article "Identity Crisis" by Jonathan Walley on page 35.
"* Iimura film boxes, like the installations with which they are associated, invoke a duality that shaped the work of a number of other filmmakers, including Sharits and Frampton:
that fil is at once a static physical object and an ephemeral temporal experience."-Jonathan Walley

Excerpt:http://www.takaiimura.com/DVD/eyeforeye.html The best work of Iimura's middle period is characterized by increasingly formal concerns, concerns most effectively demonstrated by Film Strips I and II (1967-70). Film Strips II ... resulted in an experience which is not only interesting visually, but which is implicitly a powerful record of a painful time and a warning about the future. - Scott MacDonald (Afterimage, April, 1978 (The author of "Critical Cinema," California Univ.

Iimura's practice has been defined by his ability to draw from other art forms and collaborate with artists from different genres, in many ways a characteristic of the 1960s Tokyo and New York art scenes he was a part of. This programme features a selection of his early works: Love, Junks and Colours with noise music by Yoko Ono, Kosugi Takehisa and Tone Yasunao respectively, a cine-dance with butoh artists in Anma and Rose Colour Dance, and body-painting with Kusama Yayoi in Flowers.
