Taro Shinkai is an experimental video artist from Japan, at least active since 2001.
When I first stumbled upon his videos on Vimeo, I just couldn't help but fall in love with his work. His 'ordinary life' subjects matched with an estranged ambiance make his videos absolutely unique and unpredictable. What's more, the minimalist drawing and the soft hues make the characters of these minimovies look like futile paper-tissue-like fragments appearing and vanishing like fog.
Unfortunately, my attempts to describe his vids seem to rationalize them and make them lose part of their charm, so you really need to watch and judge for yourself.
