Abstract
ABSTRACT In this interview, the Okinawa-born filmmaker/artist Chikako Yamashiro looks back at the artistic trajectories and creative processes of her representative moving-image works since the 2000s, which have transitioned from videos of performance art to short experimental documentaries and fictions. In her work, Yamashiro foregrounds the methodology of using the body and voice as a medium to reconsider the politics of remembering vis-à-vis the Battle of Okinawa. Also, reflecting on the intermedial connections between video art and cinema, the artist shares how her recent short films have connected with the socio-ecological problems that Okinawa is aesthetically and affectively entangled with today.
