In 1999 at the age of twenty-three, she created her first video works and won the prestigious Kirin Contemporary Award. In 2001, she was the youngest artist invited to participate in the Yokohama Trienniale. Her styleâ"animated films that combine drawings evoking the "handmade" nature of traditional Japanese wood prints with sophisticated computer technologyâ"provides a brutally honest glimpse into Japanese city life through powerful dreamlike images.Published to accompany an exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, this book explores three video installations: Japanese Commuter Train (2001), Haunted House (2003), and Midnight Sea (2006).
