Takashi Murakami's debut film 'Jellyfish Eyes'

In ‘Jellyfish Eyes’, a 101- minute-long monster movie which premiered earlier in April as part of the Film Independent series at  LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), Murakami has married a cast of flesh and blood young actors with an array of fantastical animated creatures who all inhabit an ‘experimental’ small town set in the Japanese countryside. It is there where, after having fled a catastrophe-stricken area, the film’s main human character, a ‘sad-looking’ boy named Masashi, befriends the eponymous Kurage-bo (Jellyfish boy) who belongs to an extraterrestrial species known as Friends. Only visible to children, each of the computer-generated monsters (which in true Murakami style come in all shapes and colours) belongs to a specific child who in turn is led to believe that they can control their special Friend via an iPhone-like device. As each of the monsters serves as a metaphorical representation of youthful angst, the children begin misusing their Friends to bully and intimidate each other, unaware that the Kawaii-inspired creatures play a pivotal role in a villainous ruse conceived to combine and convert the said negative emotions into a ‘supra-universal power.’ Soon enough however, Masashi and his fellow classmates decide to work together in order to defeat this wicked plan.

“I waited on the corner for my blind date. When this girl walked by, I said “Are you Linda?” She said, “ Are you Richard?” I said “Yeah”. She said, “I’m not Linda”.”

Over the course of three years, photographer James Mollison photographed fans at a number of concerts around the world. The resulting images form a fascinating body of work which he calls The Disciples. For Mollison, these concert crowds are almost like different tribes; he describes them as becoming like an extended surrogate family.
