On Eye Rape

‘This time he uses bits of pedagogical films that show the birth of zebras and insects or the growth of plants, and places end to end making holes in the film : the original images are “hidden” by large areas of light appearing so violently that he calls this work “Shikan ni tsuite”(On Eye Rape).’ – Chtistpph Charles ,(takahiko iimura, Film et Video, Jeu de Paume, Paris, 1999)
