Takashi Murakami’s ‘Akihabara Majokko Princess’
Finally, after reading about this so long ago on Boing Boing, Takashi Murakami’s piece from last year’s Tate Modern exhibition, Pop Life: Art in a Material World, curated by Alison Gingeras, hits the Internet. The video, produced by Murakami and directed by McG, features actress Kirsten Dunst in anime-inspired garb and blue hair frolicking in Tokyo’s Akihabara district while singing The Vapors tune “Turning Japanese.”
Confusing Perez Hilton, Technorati, and a slew of others across the web, this wonderful, contemporary slice of pop art pushes all things otaku, commercial, and stereotypically Japanese to a fever pitch.
