Aya Takano Documentary "Towards Eternity" Part 1 of 2

A documentary by Hélène Sevaux (2008)
Japanese paintress Aya Takano talks about her paintings and her influences. How ideas from science fiction novels moved her so much that she almost felt like having orgasms. Her pictures mostly show black-eyed, nude girls in dreamlike places where they often seem to float within their environment. Animals play an important role, sometimes expressing the emotions of the depicted characters. She also mentions Osamu Tezuka, who plays a central role in japanese manga culture and whose comic "Apollos Song" appears in this documentary. She also talks about how Takashi Murakami (well-known for his superflat style and design of the Luis Vuitton bag) encouraged her and organised her first exhibition. The film was taken from the Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin website: http://www.galerieperrotin.com/artiste-Aya_Takano-29.html
