Reinvention

Reinvention...the new frontiersmen in a postmodern wild west.

The John Wayne mythology can still be fulfilled in Japan. How does it break down? Deconstruction. Commitment: 18 months.

Historiographic Metafiction. Social Narrative. Reality Narrative.

Help me. My head is going to explode.

Exploding...
Exploding...

Exploding the frontiersmen myth...High Tech, rich and surfing the simulacrum of a postmodern society. Deconstruction = Explode. Tuned in, Turned On. There's so much drama in the gossip.

Tokyo, supernova, sushi express...28 million people.
Moving
Grooving
Smooth skinned
Lithe
Sleepy
Nihon-jin.
Packed like perfect pink sushi in plastic hello kitty boxes.

Sexual Politics...by whatever means possible. Now it's kickin' chicken. Militant feminism, Japanese feminism, exploitation. I am a product of my environment.

Places have power, resonance, memory.
