"Tokyo-1991-A" Jan-Dec 1991 Video Exhibition Sequence
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py1dGJWKfsQ

"Tokyo-1991-A" January to December 1991 Video Exhibition - held from June 1st to June 4th, 2011, at Y's Art's in Ginza.

Warning: Something happened in the file conversion of the upload process that has left most of the audio wildly out of sync with the video - something like a full ten seconds.  It's so bad that I recommend turning the sound off and considering this a silent movie.
