“My work was mixing with Japanese subculture and western art history. But at that moment, it wasn’t necessary to have that mix. So one of my jobs is to make a healing story, for the victims, I thought. That’s why I’m making really honest things.” — Takashi Murakami, on making work in the aftermath of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
On the occasion of Murakami’s new solo exhibition “HEADS↔HEADS.” at Perrotin New York, we take a look back at this 2013 interview with VICE’s The Creators Project.
From Creators Project:
Takashi Murakami’s first live-action feature film, ‘Jellyfish Eyes,’ has been ten years in the making. The Creators Project sits down with the legendary Japanese artist to discuss the filmmaking process, advances in CGI, and his overall artistic influences at his recent exhibition ‘Arhat’ at Blum & Poe in Los Angeles.
