This Saturday there'll be a free screening of the Nobuyoshi Araki documentary "Arakimentari" (2004) @ Prism Gallery in West Hollywood at 7 pm which coincides with the Araki exhibition currently in the gallery.
The documentary is Travis Klose's first film. He and his film crew spend 2 months following Araki.
...decided to take a chance and approach Araki about the possibility of being followed by an American film crew. The famed photographer was surprisingly quick to agree and Klose and his three-person crew were on their way to Japan not long after.
The process and experience in Japan was "heaven" for Klose and a very organic and exciting journey of observation. "I was trying to focus on Araki, the artist, and make you understand him and feel like you were spending time with him, much like the experience my crew and I had when we showed up at his studios. I had done research about his life, but I wanted to understand his process, who he is, how he approaches his art, and through that, understand something more about art for myself."
Here's an excerpt from the film where Araki talks about the beginning of his photographic career here
