Abstract

In Philip Rouy’s film there is a gesture that compels us to confront the issues of the disasters of March 11, 2011-the earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown of Northeast Japan. This leads to an explication of Furukawa Hideo’s Horses, Horses, in the End the Light Remains Pure which also beckons and compels. This paper discusses how artists confront the question “What does one do?" in the face of the still ongoing disasters and considers how the genre of horror informs possible responses.
