(2025) 5:12. Personal/Narrative Synopsis A visceral self-portrait crafted from scraps, old commissions, and film tests. ‘I Still Exist’ was most recently written about in TZVI’s guest essay for Reunion ‘THE INTERNET NEW WAVE’ which has been subsequently shared by press and via Paul Schrader.“Kaminuma’s work seems to be strongly shaped by nostalgia-core and liminal spaces: images and videos dedicated to nostalgic-style ambiance—such as empty classrooms, playgrounds, and childhood bedrooms set to somber music, often layered with scratching sounds to mimic a cassette tape. While O’Malley satirizes the bizarre, detached Internet world we live in, Kaminuma breathes life into it, bringing a tactility to the Internet aesthetic.“ &nbsp;- TZVI<img width="2000" height="3000" width_o="2000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e80932454b4e176884ae9b80f031894a9d522bf4dc7bf15bf46bfd3795deec8/i-still-exist-poster_02716.jpg" data-mid="248236015" border="0" data-scale="23" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0e80932454b4e176884ae9b80f031894a9d522bf4dc7bf15bf46bfd3795deec8/i-still-exist-poster_02716.jpg" /> By&nbsp; Justin Kaminuma Composed by Jess Faber Screenings/Exhibitions Reel Friends: Real Talk Film Underground 15 https://justinkaminuma.com/If-You-Were-A-Movie-This-Would-Be-Your-Soundtrack Tue, 11 Feb 2025 19:29:52 +0000 JUSTIN KAMINUMA https://justinkaminuma.com/If-You-Were-A-Movie-This-Would-Be-Your-Soundtrack If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack (2024-Present)i always talked about how I hated social media but when I started to make these videos onto my instagram and tiktok i discovered that it’s just another way to speak through my art. these are short, highly stylized videos set to my favoritesongs. they became a trend on social media and inspired other people to do the same thing to their favorite songs. i think that’s a beautiful thing. https://justinkaminuma.com/The-Cure Wed, 07 May 2025 04:37:56 +0000 JUSTIN KAMINUMA https://justinkaminuma.com/The-Cure The Curevisual collaboration for The Cure on their ‘Mixes of a Lost World’ album release. war, paranoia, surveillance, apocalypse, climate change. a collaboration with robert smith to find dark beauty during dark times.
