Umeda is a Japanese artist who is as fascinated in setting up interesting situations to observe, as he is in creating performances.

A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
Quasi-theatrical multiple-projector pieces play with the relationship between performers, art and audiences.
Chip’s written some of the greatest of all Sci-Fi and Fantasy—page turning character driven diamond-hard novels and short stories: each a lens that refracts our real-life struggles and desires.
