Yasumasa Morimura’s Performance and Photography*

从玛丽莲·梦露到三岛由纪夫——森村泰昌的表演和摄影艺术中的性别与文化身份黄碧赫 海德堡大学HUANG Bihe Heidelberg University ***************************.deAbstract: Japanese contemporary artist Yasumasa Morimura is renowned for

his parodies of female characters in Western paintings and film stars in Western

mainstream movies through performance and photography. In this essay, through

an analysis of Morimura’s

Marilyn Series (1996) and “Seasons of Passion”

(2006), the first chapter of his recent project,

A Requiem, I will investigate

Morimura’s performance and photography from a gendered perspective. With

a comparison between Monroe’s image in the film still of

The Seven Year Itch

(1955) and Morimura’s

Self-Portrait (Actress) / White Marilyn

and Self-Portrait

(Actress) / White Marilyn, this essay will also examine how Morimura challenges

the male gaze of the heterosexual male and fixed gender identity with his male

body. By contextualizing his works in the US-Japan relations in the postwar

period, I will also explore the connections between the two appropriated figures,

Marilyn Monroe and Yukio Mishima, and see how Morimura intersects gender

identity of the self with the cultural gender of a nation. By making comparisons

between the original images of Mishima in Eikoh Hosoe’s photo album

Ordeal

by Roses and Morimura’s appropriations in “Seasons of Passion,” this essay

will show how Japan’s cultural gender identity is addressed in Morimura’s

appropriation ds: Yasumasa Morimura; Yukio Mishima; Marilyn Monroe; gender;

cultural identity
