Many important art objects and installations of Yoko's are seen as the camera goes along with Yoko and John through the installation. Allen Ginsberg and George Maciunas were two of the many other guest artists who participated in the exhibition. At the end a \"piano piece\" by Yoko in which people including John and Yoko are just hitting continuously the surface of a closed piano, replying to John Cage's \"silent\" piano piece, is overwhelming. - (Takahiko Iimura) Featuring: Yoko Ono, John Lennon. Since the 1960s, Takahiko Iimura\u2019s explorations of the moving image have probed the relationship between media, time and language and have strived to redefine the exhibition of cinema as a mode of performance. He has worked closely with the giants of experimental film such as members of the Hi-Red Centre and Fluxus, Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, John Cage, Stan Brakhage and Stan Vanderbeek. His uncompromising work, bridges boundaries between film and performance art. \n \"Although Taka was and continues to be an active part of the New York avant-garde scene, he always remained an enigmatic, mysterious presence, pursuing his own unique route through the very center of the avant-garde cinema. While the intensity and the fire of the American avant-garde film movement inspired him and attracted him, his Japanese origins contributed decisively to his uncompromising explorations of cinema's minimalist and conceptualist possibilities. He has explored this direction of cinema in greater depth than anyone else.\" \u2013Jonas Mekas \n \u201cFrom the early sixties, though Japanese, Iimura was well known as one of the first generation of the New York Underground ...
