- Quotes[September 2010] I have worked in film, experimental film, I mean, since 1962, and have produced quite a number of works but I was excited by video as a new media. Although I didn't have a video recorder or camera at that time, so when I got back to Tokyo the first thing I bought was a video camera, recorder and monitor and I started working with video. That was around the end of 1969, when I went back to Tokyo. It took me a year or so to start making my first works. I made A Chair (1970) and Blinking (1971) both in 1970.
