Ko Nakajima
is a Japanese
video artist, photographer, and inventor based in
Tokyo. His photographs of conceptual artist
Yutaka Matsuzawa are a key resource for understanding
Matsuzawa's practice. Video Earth, the collective Nakajima founded with his students at
Tokyo College of Photography, is one of the earliest video collectives in Japan, roughly contemporaneous with
Video Hiroba. Nakajima was also a prolific experimenter and inventor, working with
Sony and
JVC to create the Animaker and the Aniputer, respectively. Since the late 1960s he has participated in numerous international film and video festivals, and supported the work of younger generations of artists as a mentor.
