Shiro Takatani was responsible for image supervision of "LIFE" (performed in Tokyo and Osaka), an opera by Ryuichi Sakamoto who tried to present an overview of music and society of the 20th century in 1999. In June 2005, a live performance, "Experimental Live at Honen-in Zen Temple", in Kyoto, was conducted through laptops and images, fronting a garden of the Buddhist abbotΥs quarters. In June of the same year, Sakamoto and Takatani collaborated again in a Susan Sontag memorial live performance at Kyoto University of Art and Design.
The images, in which Sontag's portraits and punctuation marks in her texts are arranged, are combined with sounds in a collage style, with various sounds dubbed onto gSpiegel im Spiegel" by Arvo Part.
