Tetsuo: The Bullet Man - ERIC BOSSICK
Man, cyborg, metamorphosis, and the magic of the spaces inbetween. The newest of the Tetsuo legacy, from Venice film festival, New York`s Tribeca, and the streets of Tokyo.
Born in Pennsylvania, America. Grew up in Canada and Singapore. In high school developed a passion for acting which he pursued with a classic actor`s training at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts (acting). He worked as an actor in Vancouver, BC, and was seeking to broaden his life experiences with travel. What was originally intended as a short trip, lead Eric to his current home of Tokyo where he has lived for over 10 years.
After arriving in Tokyo he was mesmerized by the esoteric dance form of Ankoku Butoh, to which he then studied for a period of four years from Tokyo`s prominent Butoh teachers. Eric performed both solo and with a variety of groups at events and festivals in Japan.
His creativity spread further into new genres with a study of photography beginning 1998. Since then he has worked for many of Tokyo`s music magazines shooting portraits of musicians, actors, dancers, and tattoo. Throughout his time in Japan he has appeared on television hundreds of times and given voices and motion capture to major titles of the game industry.
With performance and photography he has always had a close connection to the artistic currents of cutting edge culture in Tokyo. A long time fan of Tsukamoto Shinya, it is a great honor for Eric to have been able to have been welcomed into the Tetsuo legacy, a classic icon of Japanese cinema.
During his time off Eric explores ancient temples and places of power within Japan, and the world.
