The Japanese visual artist screened Jellyfish Eyes as part of LACMA’s Film Independent series.
The film follows a young boy who moves with his mother to the Japanese countryside after losing his father.
Murakami sat for a Q&A after the Monday evening screening, answering questions about his genre-defying film debut.
This is yet another medium for the 51-year-old, who typically works with paintings and sculptures, but who also dabbles in fashion, merchandise and animation.
He is also the founder and President of Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd., a company which manages the careers of younger artists and organizes the biannual GEISAI art fair.
