About works / performance

Nakamoto has been making films based on his research into the land, building a camera-centered network in which the filmmaker and the world interact with each other. The world here is the environment that the filmmaker perceives, including the land, its inhabitants, people, and local communities. He calls this network as a "film ecosystem." To connect and enrich this myriad of networks is one of his goals of activities.
