Meander is a space for documentation and experimentation within our website, a place to reflect on our projects and artists, as well as a way to explore intersections between those works, artists, and themes we study under our mission (Japanese experimental moving image works made in 1950s-1980s), and those that fall outside of our mission’s specific framework of timeframe, genres, and nationality.
Meander may take multiple forms including essays, introductions to artists and their work, online screening programs, or special digital projects. Offerings in Meander may suggest oblique angles from which to see CCJ’s mission-specific works, artists, histories, or practices.

With help of Kentaro Taki of the Videoart Center Tokyo, and Yukishige Takesue, former colleague of Akiko’s at OCS, we dug into her films and news articles she had written. We located Akiko’s original films at the Iimura’s studio in Tokyo, and newly digitized in 2024. Takesue dug into the OCS archive and identified key articles in which she reported on the avant-garde arts scene in the 1980s and 1990s.
