The Fourth Dimension (2001) (2001)

Intro

Fourth Dimension”, based on the economic boom in Japan, had a surreal, metaphysical feel about it. Again narrated with the same poetic zeal like “Reassemblage”, “Fourth Dimension” deals with the tradition/modern, global/local binary as reflected in Japan’s celebration of its culture, and yet be caught in the whirlwind of globalization. Culture had almost become another commodity to be consumed and “visited” (like local theaters and bars, or replete with multilingual translations for visitors).
