Norman Yonemoto (1946-2014) was a Los Angeles video artist. His early works include the film Second Campaign(with Nicolai Ursin, 1969), which documented the events around the struggle for People’s Park in Berkeley, California. After studying at a number of institutions, including UCLA and the American Film Institute Center for Advanced Studies, Norman and his brother Bruce embarked on a joint art career, creating their first video, Garage Sale, in 1976. Collaborating for nearly four decades, Norman and Bruce created video works that often deconstructed and rewrote the hyperbolic vernacular with which the mass media constructs cultural mythologies, ironically employing the image-language and narrative syntax of popular forms such as soap opera, Hollywood melodrama, and television advertising. They also produced collaborative multimedia installations, many of which address issues of Japanese American identity in the context of multimedia representation, history, and autobiography. Their work was widely exhibited in museums, and is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Long Beach Museum of Art, the Japanese American National Museum, the hara Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo, and other institutions.
