Mr., “Metamorphosis: Give Me Your Wings”
By: Alanna Martinez
Japanese Otaku-obsessed artist Mr. completely transports viewers mentally and physically to a mish-mashed world of distressed, visually over-stimulating, cluttered, neon-drenched, perverse, interior-exterior environment(s) made up of videos, paintings, household objects, disco lights, and x-rated manga, all piled into a massive installation evoking the social unrest prevalent in today’s post-Tsunami Japan.
