<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;" lang="EN-GB">Takahiko Iimura is a Japanese
experimental filmmaker, video artist and writer on experimental film who has
been working with the moving image since the 1960s. His work explores the
relationship between media, time and language and has strived to redefine the
exhibition of cinema as a mode of performance. He has worked closely with
members of the Hi-Red Centre and Fluxus, as well as Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, John
Cage, Stan Brakhage, Stan Vanderbeek and many others, bridging boundaries
between film, art and performance. He moved to New York in 1966 and has since
been a conduit of intercultural communication between Japan and America,
introducing Japanese experimental cinema to the West and vice versa. He
recently began self-releasing his work on DVD and continues to travel around
the world to show his films and perform his pieces.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;" lang="EN-GB">"Although Taka was and
continues to be an active part of the New York avant-garde scene, he always
remained an enigmatic, mysterious presence, pursuing his own unique route
through the very centre of the avant-garde cinema. While the intensity and the
fire of the American avant-garde film movement inspired him and attracted him,
his Japanese origins contributed decisively to his uncompromising explorations
of cinema's minimalist and conceptualist possibilities. He has explored this
direction of cinema in greater depth than anyone else." –<b style=""> </b>Jonas Mekas</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
