Employing the formula of documentary, Hikaru Suzuki works in both contemporary art and documentary cinema fields. Since "GOD AND FATHER AND ME," 2008, 36 minutes, Suzuki has been featuring actors in his films, exploring a new form of realism through an exquisite fusion of documentary as a way to capture the present and fiction as a vehicle of creativity.
Life is often filled with complex, abnormal factors that, however, we tend to neglect, as the term "normal" dominates our everyday. Hikaru Suzuki, nevertheless, turns his eyes delicately to the deep layer of it. By making people speak in their own voice about their particular, complicated family situations, Suzuki questions our notion of "home," as well as body and space, examining the boundaries between family members and others, the private and the public, and communities and nations. In a deadpan manner, some of his films combine facts and fictions, and it is the squeaking disharmony between them which makes each of his works artistically critical. He discovered this methodology through making "GOD AND FATHER AND ME," 2008, where he himself is involved and struggles.
