N1  - Ayako Tabata, nicknamed Tabaimo - meaning Tabata s little sister - is famous in the Japanese contemporary art scene. In 2001, she was the youngest artist invited to participate in the Yokohama Trienniale. Her style - animated films that combine drawings evoking the handmade nature of traditional Japanese wood prints with sophisticated computer technology - provides a brutally honest glimpse into Japanese city life through dreamlike images. This book explores three video installations which reveal the violence of ordinary situations in an apparently gentle manner, playing on the transition between the normal and the abnormal, imperceptibly shifting from scenes of everyday life to deeply enigmatic, fascinating, and often disturbing situations; Entretien avec Tabaimo = Interview with Tabaimo / Grazia Quaroni -- Midnight sea, 2006 -- Haunted House, 2003 -- Akunin, 2006 -- Japanese Commuter Train, 2001; This catalog was published on the occasion of an exhibition presented at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris, from October 27, 2006 to February 4, 2007; Includes bibliographical references
