MAP Office on Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba
A photograph of a scuba diver painting underwater on a red canvas is on the cover of one of Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba’s monographs, produced by Mori Art Museum in 2004. The image is a still from Jun’s underwater film Ho! Ho! Ho! (2003). Shot at the location of the fictional “Battle of Easel Point,” off the shores of Okinawa, Jun’s work reverses the principles of memorialization and narrative in its framing of a liquid landscape and silent actions.
