It is the fifth “ASK? Image Festival” and the first exhibition shows the grand prize winner of “ASK? Image Festival Competition” in 2008. This is Masanori OKAMOTO’s animation, including “Pank-naoshi” (puncture repairer) (2008) and “Ba-a-chan” (grand-mom) (2007) and the original cutouts and materials. “Pank-naoshi” is an image with a scene in which someone is seen repairing a bicycle puncture, and it was made into an animated cartoon as its name suggests. At first, I was not sure why he had devised such a scene. However, there is a thorough elaborateness in the work, resulting from the detailed observation of the "Puncture repair" work, and it has the power to drag those who see it into the screen with a jerk.
