Document 6.15

A living space and film lab set up by JONOUCHI and his collaborators, members of the VAN Film Research Centre were invited to make Document 6.15 for a demonstration event mourning the death of student protestor Michiko KANBA. Led by JONOUCHI, the collaborative film was conceived as part of a performance with slides and live-sounds. For a screening a year later, Jonouchi re-edited the material and invited Yasunao TONE, Takehisa KOSUGI and Toshi ICHIYANAGI, all leading noise-musicians, to perform live alongside performance art by Yoko ONO and Shou KAZAKURA. At one of the screenings, one of the speakers was stolen, causing a riot, but JONOUCHI proceeded to continue with the screening amidst the chaos, reveling in the unplanned intervention.
