THE VIDEOS FOR 'EVIDENCE' AND 'TALK'
November 7, 2013 Macoto Tezka
One day, I came across a very old, classic western-style building in a corner of Ginza-town in central Tokyo.
A building stood at the location well over 80 years. It's one of a Tokyo's relics of the past that survived war-fire and many earthquakes.
In the building, there are a couple of stairs around an old mechanical elevator. It used be an apartment but no one lives there anymore. Now galleries and antique stores occupy the building.
Walking through a narrow passage, I thought about the past and imagined how people lived here. Imagery of old silent films flashed into my imagination.
A few months later, I visited there again with my actor friends and a cinematographer. Because I couldn't think of a better location for John Foxx And The Maths videos.
John's music has a feeling of "déjà vu". It's always fresh but somehow nostalgic. Silhouette of a figure that walks through an old avenue; vague, indistinctive face . . That is the image created by his music. But some images of my own memories also came up.
Our cinematographer shot this film with a Canon camera. Before editing, it had sharply-defined shapes and vivid color, so I removed it all. Next, I adjusted the speed to express an eternal moment. Then I synchronized the music to the image and I found something was still missing.
By watching the film for many weeks I kept asking myself, 'whats' missing'? Then an idea came up to my mind to bring the film to perfection. The gaps of 'scattered memories and missing time' need to be added. So I decided to attach these 'invisible moments' to fill the gap. The film was finished by these invisible moments.

I know the building. The last time I was there, in 2017, it was part residential and part commercial.
Meet Disconnect
The streets all meet and disconnect
Veiled by digital elliptic omnipresent eyes
Rustling crackle of dry sheets city ablaze with tombs
Pentagram mirrors drawing crowds to crucifix skyscraper idols
Skeletal emojis appear goo goo faces melt into gas lights
Stretch out hands for sacrament of bread liver eating crows
Flocking violently clogging screens blocking heavens ceiling unscene
Glorious opposites of Obscene citizens of a darkness never right
Inner face where we race and wreck
The streets all meet and disconnect
Jaw drop
Once in Tokyo, a cat fell from a window 8 stories up. It caused 3 deaths. One was the person it fell on. Another observor was hit by a car and a third old man had a heart attack from witnessing the event. What are the odds?
What is the connection of this comment and this song?
John Foxx is the representation of advanced European music and also has the personality of the European Atlantean.
What?
Avante Garde Brittish. He looks more Northern European(Scandinavian) than one of Atlantean descent who would have darker hair.
Actuaries always use the urinal closest to the wall because their is 50% less chance of getting pissed on.
#Multiple Personalities# Hi, I am another “multiple egos”. I totally agree on Aquaries and what you write is something very few grasp of this sign but I did, because I had many friends Aquaries and also my mother. That’s why I may be much like them myself. Anyway I think your comment is remarkable apart from the vulgarity...
So out
erotism of shoes? (I confirm)
