Arakinema: Kain documents one of Nobuyoshi Araki’s experimental slide-based performances, part of his long-running Arakinema project that fuses still photography, projected imagery, and sound into a cinematic experience.
Filmed and directed by Araki himself, this 1997 production records the making and presentation of his “Hanauma” exhibition, revealing his characteristic interplay of eros, humor, and sentiment.

A genius video document showcasing the transition of Araki’s photographic vision into motion-based media.
