Directing

Kazue Monno is a visual artist and animation filmmaker based in the Netherlands and Japan. She has been working with Takeshi Nagata as the creative duo “TOCHKA” since 1998. They invented a method of creating animation called “PiKA PiKA”, which combines long exposure photography with stop motion animation techniques. The technique enables people of all ages and backgrounds to make animation by drawing lines in the air, using lights. TOCHKA's area of activity ranges from experimental animations to contemporary art.
