Ninja B and Ninja C enter an art museum, expecting an afternoon of staid cultural edification. Instead, they quickly realize they’ve stumbled upon a Ghost Museum. A bit of initial mischief leads to friendship as the ninjas whisk the lonesome senior curator Mitchilda away on an unforgettable railway adventure.
Originally debuted under the auspices of a solo exhibition held at the Kirishima Open-Air Museum in summer 2018, the work showcases a number of motifs site-specific to Kagoshima Prefecture. Responsible for both the animation and music in this joyous video, the artist guides the viewer on a leisurely, curated journey through the annals of art history.
