Nakamura Masanobu
An extraordinary animated work composed of 99 still images. The bizarre story of the mechanized walking doll “Margaret” kidnapping and confining a female student in a sailor-style school uniform is realized with a precisely calculated method of full in-camera editing of one 100-foot reel. The filmmaker himself appears in this humorous, radical Pop film, one of Nakamura’s best-known works.

SUMMER IS GONE
Nakamura Masanobu
The viewer spends a pleasant 30 minutes enfolded in the agreeably lazy atmosphere generated by repeating images and minimalist music that characterize Nakamura’s films. The rhythm of repetitions, subtle deviations, and memories evoked by momentary images transform the scenery of an actual street into a world of daydreams. Nakamura’s distinctive trance film has earned high international acclaim.

Parts of the female body, filmed in the light of a self-made strobe, are multiply exposed and flicker as they perform a graphical dance. In this work, reminiscent of the animation of Norman McLaren, Nakamura’s fetishism transcends physical eroticism and is dedicated to creating abstract visual pleasure. The music, evoking the gamelan, was composed with a computer program that Nakamura personally designed. (CJC, 2020).
