Profile

Artist. Born in Yamaguchi in 1999, Japan. Lives and works in Tokyo.
He explores “mediation,” encompassing perception, communication, and movement through the process of inventing and sculpting their original” mediation.” Major works include Imagraph, a medium that projects video onto closed eyelids; Lived Montage, a pair of glasses that allows us to share our vision when we share the object of our consciousness; and Media of Langue, a dictionary-sculpture that depicts a chain of word translations. Solo exhibitions include Beautiful Medium (parcel, NEORT++, Tokyo, 2025), and his work has been presented in exhibitions across Japan and abroad. He defines ‘Medium-Art’ as treating the medium itself—open to content—as the artwork, and explores its theoretical and genealogical dimensions.
