Skin #5 Video Mix M.M.M.

Extremely Limited Release
Japanese VHS
1989

Part of the wider performance work of Japanese guro troupe Tokyo Grand Guignol, Skin #5 merges underground theatre, body horror, and early cyberpunk into a chaotic vision of technological possession and fractured identity. Released in an extremely limited VHS run, the film’s blue-screen effects, theatrical staging, and grotesque machine imagery position it as a fascinating precursor to the cyberpunk cinema that would emerge throughout the 1990s.
