[Takenoko (bamboo) Tribe, Harajuku dancer] / 竹の子族

Description

This is a documentation of the “Takenoko-zoku” or the “Bamboo Shoot Tribe,” who did Cossack-style dances in Harajuku. When it was screened at the Video Culture International Festival in Toronto, Laurie Anderson saw it and found it interesting, and asked me to produce a music video for her. Upon returning to Japan, I added the sound and finished the music video. Photography by Michal Goldberg.
原宿でコサック風のダンスを踊っていた「竹の子族」を、数年間かけて撮影。トロントのビデオカルチャー・インターナショナル・フェスティバルで上映したところ、これを観たローリー・アンダーソンが面白がって、ミュージックビデオの制作を依頼された。帰国してから、サウンドを加えてミュージックビデオを完成させた。マイケル・ゴールドバーグが撮影協力。(CCJ作家インタビュー2018)
