(1) Tokyo, 4 Weeks
=================================================================
 
Revitalize Your Rusty Brain
Memento

recommended by magazine editor and film writer, Oh! Shomei

Based on a short story by his younger brother, 31-year old director 
Christopher Nolan wrote a script that starts with the conclusion,
and gradually goes back in time. Imagine reading a book of five
chapters, beginning with chapter five, then four, three, and so on.
In this case this was an extremely effective idea, since the viewers (who 
doesn't know the past) can experience the same approach to
reality as the protagonist (who forgot the past). Just as Leonard himself, 
the viewers have to look at polaroids and tattoos in order
to infer and follow the story they're puzzling together in their
headsノ

(2) Out of Tokyo vol. 21
=================================================================

RT/RO Editor-in-Chief, Ozaki Tetsuya spoke with Higashiizumi
Ichiro on his involvement in "Neut." Magazine.


A Dialogue with Designer Higashiizumi Ichiro (part 1)

- You're involved in "Neut." in form of taking part in discussion meetings 
next to Tei Towa, Hiro Sugiyama, and editor Sato.
- Did there exist a certain incongruity from the beginning?

"Rather than calling it incongruity, I had strong feelings of
doubt and hesitation. They held a sword above my head, telling me
that the main goal was to defeat the current situation of design.
I wasn't sure how to bring this into shape, and I didn't know how
to answer to their demands. I think that the only way for a designer
to make an effective step towards something new is to create new
things, and demonstrate new methods in real projects. Different
people have different ways, and this is not something you can
achieve by just talking or making magazinesノ
