A dynamo whose thunderous potential was cut short by his premature death in July 2012, Japanese moving-image artist Stom Sogo was a romantic rebel if ever there was one. For over two decades he created a hair-raising, retina-burning body of distinctive and aggressively beautiful films and videos. His psychically charged work revels in optic and aural attacks just as much as it attempts a sincere connection with the viewer. (Andrew Lampert)
