Mako Idemitsu
01 Jan, 1940 in Tōkyō, Japan
Experimental video artist Mako Idemitsu creates domestic narratives, that examine female identity within the context of the contemporary Japanese family. Echoing and subverting the popular melodramas of Japanese television, she applies a women's liberationist critique to her fictions of the psychological "family romance." Dramatising the strict gender roles that shape... mother-child and husband-wife relationships, she explores the role of women in a patriarchal, mediated culture.
