Northern Hemisphere 1978

Directed by Isao Kota

I wanted to make a film in which the world is turned upside down, a film made up of images that assert that these images have no meaning. There is a shot that uses a doll, which was washed up on the riverbank where we visited while filming "Mineralogist". I picked it up thinking that I might be able to use it in the shoot. Masanobu Nakamura seemed to think that this shot was my response to "Commemorative Photography" and asked me about it, but I had no idea what it meant so I was at a loss for words.
