Superheadz have produced a special installation using its Digital Harinezumi cameras and content created by over thirty international artists, including filmmaker Patrice Leconte, actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, Harmony Korine and more.
Harinezumi no Mori was first shown in Tokyo and abroad last year and this updated version is on exhibition at Shower Room Factory in Shibuya from tomorrow.
This is how Superheadz describe the concept:
In a world where remixes and loops, samplings and downloads, Google, Amazon, and Youtube became our necessity, people have stopped watching television, and going to record shops and book stores. However, to experience Harinezumi no Mori, you just have to get out; and come experience the moment.
The thirty-minute installation is viewable several times a day and each showing is supposed to be different.
We wanted to create something that you can witness only here – something inconvenient, over the top, painful, not portable, anti-mobile, anti-internet. The result was Harinezumi no Mori.
The “forest” (mori) is composed of multiple Digital Harinezumi films, collected from around the world, broken down and reconstructed. Showing on two hundred monitors the installation is promised to be a “spiritual musical”, the footage becoming “like uncontrollable creatures in the woods”.
