História

A dynamo whose thunderous potential was cut short by his premature death in July 2012, Japanese moving-image artist Stom Sogo was a romantic rebel if ever there was one. For over two decades he created a hair-raising, retina-burning body of distinctive and aggressively beautiful films and videos. His psychically charged work revels in optic and aural attacks just as much as it attempts a sincere connection with the viewer. (Andrew Lampert)

Guided by Voices
Director
Stom Sogo was a brilliant media artist who left his native Japan for America while still in high school. He attended college in NYC and became a central figure in the mid-1990s experimental film community before returning home. GUIDED BY VOICES, a lyrically intense stroboscopic shock to the system, is quite possibly his masterwork. Featured in the 2002 Whitney Biennial, Sogo re-edited this piece a number of times before his untimely death at the age of 37 at his apartment in Kyoto.

I Haven't Done Anything Yet
Director
Sogo’s massive 9-reel, nearly 300 minute cycle of Super-8 diary films, which he titled I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING YET. Dated 1995 but likely spanning a few years, this series contains footage shot while still a student at SVA, images captured on the streets, and at home featuring friends and strangers in the flow of life. Sogo rarely screened his intricately detailed, exquisitely photographed diaries in public, but when he did they left a lasting impression on all those who saw them. Dizzying in their breakneck speed, these works demonstrate Sogo’s incredible eye and preternatural ability to compose in-camera. (Anthology Film Archives)
