Born in 1992. Art explorer. Creating ways to encounter.
The artist’s activities focus on the passing through of the world separated by meaning and purpose, and the momentary congruence that occurs between these disparate things, each existing in its own way.
His main activities include “Pacific Ocean and Tire Pulling,” in which he pulls a tire and walks around the islands from the viewpoint of “Yaponesia,” the Japanese archipelago as a Pacific island: in Taiwan, Yakushima, Tanegashima, and Amami-Oshima. The “Eight Octopus Mikoshi” presents an “octopus” motif, in which each of its eight arms has its own independent intelligence, and opens up questions about human beings: in Oita, Fukuoka, Hyogo, Tokyo, Shizuoka, Chinmi, and Yamaguchi.

Born in Aichi Prefecture. Currently enrolled in the Department of Painting, Graduate School of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts. Her works are mainly in the field of painting and installation. As if folding his body into a support, she gives various forms to his own physical sensation, and then laminates them. Or, as if to get out of the support and stretch the body, she makes something like a body awkwardly in space.
Currently, while incorporating reproduction media such as handheld scanners and silk screens, she is attempting to construct new physical representations by capturing and amplifying her own body and actions in a multilayered manner.

With the climate and memories of the Kii Peninsula, where he has his roots, and the philosophy of Minakata Kumagusu, a naturalist from the same region, as his foundation, he works on the theme of “the relationship and distance between nature and people”. In recent years, he has turned his attention to natural landforms, ecosystems, cultures, and beliefs in Japan and abroad, creating works ranging from fieldwork to photography, video, performance, and installation.
He questions boundaries, touches the invisible, and develops physical acts and processes, sometimes like a festival. Recently, he has become interested in rivers, and has been active in cross-disciplinary activities, including the establishment of the “Takasegawa River Monitoring Club” to observe the ecology of artificial rivers.

My grandfather gave me the name so that all the letters would be symmetrical, and my mother came up with the reading. (It could have been “Yukikazu.”) I wanted to make a music video for Hikaru Utada, and with that sole intention in mind, I entered an art college but was only accepted into the architecture department. I want to create something, just like how Akiko Yano sings, or Ranjatai performs comedy. What kind of person was the first person to make Jomon earthenware?
