Shūji Terayama, Shuntaro Tanikawa

This striking collection records the video‑letter exchange between avant‑garde poet‑filmmaker Shuji Terayama and celebrated poet Shuntaro Tanikawa during the months leading up to Terayama’s death. Presented as a home‑video, the work blends two artists’ poetic voices with abstract philosophy, eccentric behavior and vivid, flamboyant visual moments.
