Akiko Hada
Hada’s work includes music videos, performance, and concert documentation, poetic narratives and animation. Characteristic for videos like The Fall of a Queen or the Taste of the Fruit to Come, a parable on the fall of the Berlin Wall, are her use of music and her odd sense of humor. James Bonk in Matt Blackfinger is a bricolage-like parody of the James Bond film Goldfinger, for which she animated mechanical toys in a coproduction with the Japanese American Toy Theater of London.
