You're watching a man and woman at war, but the battleground isn't dialogue, it's the space between live bodies and drawn ones, between a flushing toilet and a scream. Yōji Kuri doesn't build a narrative that explains this contrast; he builds it so you feel the vertigo of it. A three-minute film that moves like a fever dream and sounds like someone recording reality through a broken antenna, proving that experimental animation in 1961 was already ten years ahead of everything around it.

Yōji Kuri's 1961 film combines live action with animation and was screened at Three-Person Animation 2. Its soundtrack mixes musique concrète with electronic sounds made by altering everyday noises, flushing toilets among them, and sets these against scat singing. Opposites run through the whole work, as the title hints: live-action space against animated space, ordinary household sounds against bizarre ones, and the war between the sexes, a recurring subject in Kuri's films.
