TOKYO1961 Archive:Movie & VR and William KleinWhen the legendary photographer William Klein came to Japan in

1961, he took photos of Tatsumi Hijikata, Kazuo Ohno, and Yoshito

Ohno performing on the streets of Ginza and Shimbashi. Some 600

unpublished photos from this collaboration will be exhibited for the

first time in the form of movie and VR.

VR creation: Takuto Usami (backspacetokyo)

Born in New York in 1928, William Klein studied literature at the Sorbonne, and oil-painting under Fernand Léger. He started photography in 1953 and visited Japan to shoot Tokyo in 1961. This led the publication of the photo book Tokyo in 1964. A significant innovator, he has explored fresh approaches, spanning exhibitions of vintage prints, large-scale blow-ups, to collaboration with painting.

Born in Tokyo in 1938, Yoshito Ohno performed the role of the young boy in Tatsumi Hijikata’s Kinjiki [Forbidden Colours] in 1959. Throughout the 1960s he was active in butoh performances until he quit the stage in 1969 soon after his first solo recital. In 1985, he made his stage comeback as he appeared alongside Kazuo Ohno in The Dead Sea; thereafter he was to direct all of Kazuo's stage performances. Among his legendary collaborations are: The Promising Morning (2010) with the Tanztheater Wuppertal dancers’ Julia Anne Stanzak and Eddie Martinez and Antony and the Ohnos (2010) with Antony and the Johnsons. He premiered his solo Flower and Bird in 2013, and later performed it in Europe (2014), Brazil (2015), and China (2016). Author of Kazuo Ohno - Food for the Soul and Butoh: A Way of Life. A new publication Portrait of Ono Yoshito by Inuhiko Yomota has just been released this year.

Born in England and living in NYC, Anohni first gained international prominence upon winning the UK’s Mercury prize in 2005 for her album I Am a Bird Now with her band Antony and the Johnsons. Anohni's unique voice led to performances with symphony orchestras around the world, collaborations with artists including Lou Reed, Charles Atlas, Marina Abramovic, and Bjork, and exhibitions at Kunsthalle Bielefeld and Hammer Museum. In 2016 Anohni was nominated for an Oscar for her contribution to the song “Manta Ray,” an address to the world’s dying coral reefs. Her latest album Hopelessness was a collaboration with Hudson Mohawke and OPN, and uses dance music to explore themes of ecocide, drone warfare, and global virulence. All of Anohni's creative practices draw tremendous inspiration from the work of the Ohno family, and it is her great honor to sing beside Yoshito Ohno.
