"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
SEGMENT: Tabaimo in "Boundaries"
From "Art in the Twenty-First Century" Season 6 (2012)
About
Artist Tabaimo, Japan's representative to the 2011 Venice Biennale, draws inspiration from traditional and contemporary Japanese culture as she creates immersive, surreal, and sometimes humorous—or disturbing—video installations. In her video "Public ConVENience" (2006) she explores the uncomfortable boundaries—or lack thereof—between public and private space in the Internet age.
