/ A Requiem: Mishima
Art Exhibition previously on at Art Gallery of New South Wales in Australia. Published by Art Gallery of New South Wales on Tuesday 05 February 2008. Saturday 24 November 2007 to Sunday 09 March 2008.
In his 2006 series Morimura recreates memorable postwar incidents as reported through press photography, harking back to his earlier 1991 work Slaughter cabinet II. In this DVD Morimura/Mishima delivers an impassioned speech, one based on the writer’s pre-suicide diatribe from 1970. The interconnections equates with Morimura’s and Mishima’s idea of beauty – the clash of two things.
Also included are the first and second editions of Mishima’s collaborations with Eikoh Hosoe, and Luke Roberts’ performance series 1+1=8.
