Inoue Takehiko piece for Gendai Art Museum

Inoue Takehiko’s entrance space project for the 井上雄彦 最後のマンガ展 (Inoue Takehiko Last Manga Exhibition) at Gendai Art Museum. My humble translation of the text at the end of the film is as follows:

“I had been working from on top of the piece the whole time, and it was a strange feeling at first to see it lifted up. Since I couldn’t really see the piece as a whole from a distance, I was sure there would be places I would have to fix. But after we raised the painting up, it felt like it was something that no longer belonged to me and to put forth my brush any further would be inappropriate. Also, thinking back, during the process I never felt frustrated and in the end I unexpectedly didn’t feel like, ‘Yes, I did it!’  Thank you again for this precious experience!”

Takehiko’s exhibition is taking place in several locations here in Japan, hopefully I can make it to the one in Sendai. On a last note, I want to know what he was listening to…
