Get a glimpse of Yoshitomo Nara’s recent A to Z show in this clip from the documentary film “Traveling with Yoshitomo Nara”This is one of special videos that the director Koji Sakabe edited for iPod. Seeing Nara’s work in person is a unique experience, with little smokinggirls larger than thier onlookers, Nara’s huge oversized hand-sewn canvas patch work “plates,” tiny kinder-core crayon drawings, and his catalogued music ephemera.Here are a few other Nara films to check out, including last year’s show at the Hague, and Nara infused imagery in a Shonen Knife videos “Daydream Believer” and the ridiculous “Banana Chips.”
