F/T’s first film production explores a gaze on a body that simultaneously performs and is made to perform

The playwright and director Suguru Yamamoto (HANCHU-YUEI) has frequently employed video footage in his previous work as part of his continued contemplation of body and image in terms of their distinction and fusion. For the latest iteration of his solo project DOCU(NT)MENT, which examines the life of a single human being, he now makes his first film. Incorporating documentary techniques, Yamamoto’s camera focuses on the actor Mikie Tanaka, who has worked with him as a performer for eight years. Tracking Tanaka as she simultaneously performs and is made to perform, Yamamoto’s gaze also both changes and is made to change. This sincere yet thrilling process emerges through the lens.
