Art Ruby Exclusive Part Deux: Kirsten Dunst Reacts to Her Finished Murakami Collaboration
We once again caught up with Kirsten Dunst to talk about Takashi Murakami's video Akihabara Majokko Princess for Tate Modern’s "Pop Life: Art in a Material World" exhibit, but this time of course after her work was released. “I was a little bit of embarrassed,” laughs the actress. “I didn’t realize it was going to be all over the Internet.” But she has no regrets of being part of it. “That was such blast,” she recollects. “Originally, Takashi was supposed to use a Japanese pop band for the clip, but something fell through and he gave me a call. Next thing I knew, I was on the plane to Tokyo, wearing a blue wig and walking around a public terminal in the middle of the rush hour. I think the crowds were as baffled as I was, so they had a blast with their digital cameras. But next day, I was used to it!” And Dunst recorded three songs as part of her Murakami experience, but Vapors' hit Turning Japanese was used in the final version. “I hope I don’t sound like a British man!” exclaimed the star. “It’s hard to see yourself lip-synching to a weird voice. But I would do anything for Takashi- he’s just the sweetest, most humble man. You just kind of want to give a big hug at all times!”
