Takashi Murakami-BBC Documentary

Takashi Murakami is one of the more enigmatic artists of our time. His works flirt (or more than that) with both the psychedelic world (with as obvious works as the psy mushroom figures) and the capitalist world. This BBC documentary tries to follow the philosophy behind Murakami’s art. It does give an interesting insight to the philosophy behind the work, but somehow I feel that someone that is not full submerged in the Japanese culture cannot fully understand the messages that Murakami conveys in his art.
