Bruce and Norman Yonemoto: Memory, Matter and Modern Romance - 3 Volumes

1999

Vol. 1 - 20 minutes Vol. 2 - 26 minutes Vol. 3- 24 minutes Retail Price: $18.00/volume
"Bruce and Norman Yonemoto: Memory, Matter and Modern Romance" is the first comprehensive exhibition of the work of these two Sansei (third-generation Japanese American) artists. Their single-channel videos and installation work have consistently explored issues of representation, the fabrication of memory, and the persistence of romance in the construction of the self and group identity. The influence of the narrative language of Hollywood and the importance of film imagery on conceptions of race and ethnicity are explored throughout their work. The Yonemotos were born in the immediate post- World War II period and grew up in Santa Clara, California. Their parents were among the more than 120,000 Japanese Americans incarcerated in concentration camps for the duration of the war. Like many Japanese Americans, their reintegration into postwar life was characterized by the assimilation to the American ideal as depicted on television, and much of their work examines the role of the media in our lives and questions the subtle power of Hollywood on the formation of identity.
