Poster for improvisation

1979 · ★ 0.0 (0)

An animated work consisting of five chapters, each employing a distinct technique. It features the improvisational use of various materials—such as children's drawing boards, clay, and flipbooks—to unfold the visuals. Animals and bizarre, grotesque characters appear and rapidly morph into new forms, all while interweaving sexual motifs. This work—characterized by a chain of imagery that defies expectation and a blend of the grotesque and the humorous—epitomizes the style of Seiko Otobe.
