Noh Jan 1, 1977

Made when I was simply beside myself with excitement from seeing Toshio Matsumoto's ATMAN. I placed photographs of Noh masks in a variety of backgrounds and pulled the camera aimed at the photographs towards them and away from them, circled it around them and into them as if the camera had gone mad. I wanted to express my weird, eerie feelings towards Noh masks with brutal images. (Takashi Ito)
