Shiro, Where Are You Going

Michio Okabe · 20 min · Japan

Michio Okabe's only 8mm film, which was miraculously discovered in 2021 at the back of a closet in his room, after being unaccounted for and thought lost for a long time. He tied an 8mm camera around the neck of his dog Shiro and recorded the world as seen from the dog's point of view. Okabe's anarchy, in which he abandoned-looking through the viewfinder himself and let the dog shoot the film, is the quintessence of Okabe's work.
