Eadweard r. York (b. Omaha, Nebraska - Twentieth Century) is an American-born photographer, artist and visionary most noted for his compelling, iconic images of a society on the verge of destruction.
Eadweard has constantly pushed the boundaries of conceptual, avant-garde art as an infamous, underground outsider whose distinctive, surreal, pop-punk-dada style is easily recognizable, very powerful, and quite visionary. Eadweard’s legendary art, public-reaction performances, and installations have been quite influential, sometimes confrontational, always at the forefront in the art world.
His powerful street photographs documenting the disenfranchised are in stark contrast to the numerous celebrities, bands, musicians and models who have appeared in front his lens, but whether affluent or impoverished, the images are stripped of all pretense and not easily erased from the mind - the work of one keenly aware of the essence of his subject matter.
I have been a professional artists, and photographer my whole life, and although I have made some art films in the past. I never really focused on making a film until I decided to make “Yaruki.” - which is my first attempt at making a full feature.
I usually walk miles in every city I visit shooting anything that catches my eye, and since I have been living in Japan part-time for the last 8 years, and documenting everyday life there. I noticed that I could actually lay on the ground, and film people running at me with-out them touching me, or anyone near them. So I decided that I was going to make an art film, about movement.
I then had an idea to interview some very intelligent women about life in Tokyo, and what it’s like to be alone in the mass of millions of people, and make a documentary. It’s very hard to get women to open up, especially to be interviewed, so I was quite fortunate to be able to have these women open up to me.
I then had some funny ideas about Bill Murray’s character Bob Harris in “Lost in Translation, and decided to add some humor. I then convinced “Ogawa,” a master Sushi Chef who’s expressions, and humor have always cracked me up to be included in the film and act like an old silent screen star.
So please watch my film, and take an interesting, and visually compelling journey into the streets of Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, Kamakura, Hikone, Kawagoe, and visit cool neighborhoods like Shimokitazawa, and Golden Gai through the my eyes, as I take you to the beautiful country of Japan in my first full feature film.
