the work of Japanese animator Tabaimo is one of the first things i saw at the Biannale this summer, and it stuck. she uses traditional japanese imagery in totally surprising ways, and the effect is that of precise, mindboggling, animated surrealism that resembles woodblock prints (what more could you ask for?)
unfortunately, i could only find one of her works online, but that too, is pretty damn awesome.
lets see, surreal japanese animation, collaboration with Batsheva Dance Company, and all that set to none other "AA XXX" by Peaches - i marvel that such a thing even exists.
but it does, and its called "Furo" and it makes me happy beyond words.
