Junk

Synopsis

“It’s a mixture of [dead] animals, pieces of [broken] furniture, industrial waste, kids playing. I didn’t have in mind any of the kind of historical perspective, nor was I trying to make an ecological statement. I was showing the new landscape of our civilization. My point of view was animistic. I tried to revive those dead animals metaphorically and to give the junk new life.” – Takahiko Iimura

“In Junk, surreal imagery is used effectively to dramatize the slow ecological destruction brought about by a wasteful industrialized society.” – Scott MacDonald
