Pure Trance

Pure Trance

Following the Third World War, humankind left the toxic surface of the Earth and built an underground city to survive. A serious social problem has emerged in this new society: hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the “Pure Trance” life-sustaining pill. The story begins in a hospital which has been ruined by a tyrannical director, Keiko Yamazaki. The nurses who toil under Keiko’s whip are regular girls, just like your friends and co-workers. Yet this is no soap opera! It is a dreamy science fiction fantasy ― a twisted story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl in love with a pop idol singer. “Exploding with life & moving at a speed that makes the rest of the world seem asleep. These images are razorsharp and visceral, with all of the innocence and beauty of a childhood daydream. They electrocute the senses and tap the source of energy that drives us all.”-- Mike Patton Junko Mizuno is a self-taught artist recognized for her unique style of powerful and erotic female imagery. Her purpose in making art has always been pure pleasure, and she celebrates the power of women in her work. She enjoys creating a universe of strong women and female energy, no matter if the energy is negative or positive. Though her art refuses to be categorized, it is rooted in 1970's and '80s Japanese pop culture. Inspirations include fetish art, folk art, religious art, psychedelic art, pin-up art, advertising art, vintage toys, fashion, comic, food nature, movies, TV shows, video games and more.
