Takehisa Kosugi was a Japanese composer. In 1969, Kosugi formed the Taj Mahal Travellers.
A symbolic reflection on issues of female sexuality, art and identity constructs.
"It's a mixture of [dead] animals, pieces of [broken] furniture, industrial waste, kids playing. I didn't have in mind any of the kind of historical perspective, nor was I trying to make an ecological statement. I was showing the new landscape of our civilization. My point of view was animistic. I tried to revive those dead animals metaphorically and to give the junk new life."
Seiichi Fujii (b. 1948) was a member of the collective Video Hiroba and created this work in 1970. It shows Takehisa Kosugi at Ōiso Beach.
