TABAIMO

Tabaimo is one of the most successful and original figures on the Japanese art scene. This book, published to accompany the exhibition at the Fondation Cartier in Paris, invites readers to discover this artist's world through the exploration of three video installations: Japanese Commuter Train (2001), Haunted House (2003) and Midnight Sea (2006). These works reveal the violence of everyday situations in an apparently gentle manner, playing upon the transition between the normal and abnormal, imperceptibly shifting from commonplace scenes of everyday life to deeply enigmatic, fascinating and often disturbing situations.
