«Though short and minimalistic, Katayama Takuto's Dissimilated Vision is delicately animated work that is amazingly intriguing and somewhat grotesque.  Katayama Takuto uses lines to split the planes and switch from one scene to another. Along with this brilliant technique, the sparse and plodding piano score that accompanies Dissimilated Vision makes the work beautifully hypnotic and surrealistic.The mesmerizing effect comes to an abrupt end when the music disappears and the line is broken. Yet, the impressions from the work lingers long in the minds of viewers. Katayama Takuto must have intended to present his unique vision as an artist rather than simply displaying our eyes as mere organs of sight. This is a true masterpiece, one that impresses the viewers every time they watch.» Ki Young Park
