Tabaimo (14 results)

Hardback. Condition: New. Ayako Tabata, nicknamed Tabaimo - meaning "Tabata's little sister" - is famous in the Japanese contemporary art scene. In 2001, she was the youngest artist invited to participate in the Yokohama Trienniale. Her style - animated films that combine drawings evoking the "handmade" nature of traditional Japanese wood prints with sophisticated computer technology - provides a brutally honest glimpse into Japanese city life through dreamlike images. This book explores three video installations which reveal the violence of ordinary situations in an apparently gentle manner, playing on the transition between the normal and the abnormal, imperceptibly shifting from scenes of everyday life to deeply enigmatic, fascinating, and often disturbing situations.

Version bilingue français / anglais. Luxueux catalogue de l'exposition sur Tabaimo par la Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, du 27 octobre 2006 au 4 février 2007. PRESENTATION DE L'EXPO : La Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain présente pour la première fois en Europe l'oeuvre de l'artiste japonaise Tabaimo, étoile montante de l'animation et de l'art vidéo. Ses créations, en rupture avec l'esthétique dominante du dessin animé japonais, empruntent leurs couleurs nuancées aux estampes traditionnelles et puisent leur inspiration dans l'observation de la vie urbaine contemporaine. Les trois installations vidéo présentées à la Fondation Cartier entraînent le spectateur dans un univers à la fois séduisant et infiniment perturbant, dévoilant la face sombre du Japon d'aujourd'hui.

Tabaimo (born 1975) produces beautiful yet disturbing hand-drawn animations, which mix traditional Japanese imagery with digital video techniques.
