Jonouchi, who documented various artists’ performances and events, turned the camera onto himself cutting his hair. Using the experimental methods Jonouchi incorporated in his past works, he painted a private space and time by way of portrayal of his own body.

This work is an extension of Jonouchi’s documentation of Hi-Red Center’s performance event, Shelter Plan (1964). Using the same unique shooting and editing techniques adopted in the Gewaltpia series, Jonouchi put on record the process of destruction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s renowned architectural piece [the Imperial Hotel], which was the site where Shelter Plan took place.
