le cinéma cynique

“It could look like someone you know or it could be a stranger in a crowd.”

Oh, what’s that? I couldn’t hear you ‘cause your mouth is sewn shut.

“Everybody just pretend to be normal.”

“ We met at the wrong time. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway. Maybe one day years from now, we’ll meet in a coffee shop in a far away city somewhere and we could give it another shot.”

“I am every little girl you ever watched, touched, hurt, screwed, killed.”

Torture? Is this torture to you? Because wow, I guess you’ve never read anything about Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch, because this… this is nothing. 

School Girls vs. Sweets & Stuffed Animals

Kazuhiro Hori (堀一浩) recently completed a group show, “Tengai 2.0” curated by Tenmyouya Hisashi. His works focus exclusively on depressed school girls languishing in strange worlds filled with cream, candy & menacing toys. He seems to be following a trend of Japanese artists, such as Aida Makoto & Shintaro Kago who are debasing school girls as modern symbols of Japan. ● More Kazuhiro on Facebook
