Reborn-Art Festival

Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1975. Based in Berlin and Tokyo. Received an M.A. in Fine Art Course from Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. He makes works in a wide range of media such as drawing, sculpture and performance. In “Roppongi Crossing 2010: Can There Be Art?” (Mori Art Museum), Wiesbaden Biennale (various places in Wiesbaden, Germany) and “DOMANI: The Art of Tomorrow 2009” (The National Art Center, Tokyo), he stayed at the exhibition site every day for the long exhibition period and performed. In 2014, he started the project of “Perfectly Ordinary Stones, Carried for 1,300 Years.” Taking up ordinary motifs such as apples, stones and humans and making use of extremely high-level technique and unique talking method, he offers experiences in which a person comes to get in touch with a different phase before they realize it and an experience of stepping on the accelerator and brake at the same time in their perceptions. With such experiences, he continues to make works that can promote the reconsideration of “contemporary” and “art.”
