He works on photography, video and installation while focusing on the periphery of cities and architecture such as underdrain, attics, under the floor, ancient mounds, and vacant lots. Through his actions as if he were playing around, he connects blank spaces created in the midst of social changes with individual body and emotions as if tying them together like a collage. His recent exhibitions include his solo show “Super Play” (Token Art Center, Tokyo, 2019) and art project “Hikikomisen/Hoshasen” (Absorption/Radiation), (Dai 19 Hokuto Bldg., Saitama, 2019).

By interacting with others and incorporating this into her works, she explores new possibilities of paintings. Her recent exhibitions include “Organized confusion” (gallery TOWD , Tokyo, Japan, 2020), “Asuka Art Village 2019 Round Trip” (Nara Prefecture Complex of Man’yo Culture observation lobby , Nara, Japan, 2019).

Amélie Bouvier (b.1982, France) lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Her practice builds from historical research in the field of astronomy to question issues related to cultural memory and collective heritage. Astronomers in particular, and scientists in general, don’t only explain the world, they also represent it through the construction of diagrams, illustrations, photographs or equations. For Bouvier, scientific imagery is an extension of knowledge that reveals ideological and ethical frameworks, which risk cloaking aspects of the reality they aim to represent. She is particularly interested in the sky and stars as a landscape that expose current socio-political contradictions and knowledge gaps. While her work is based on historical facts, data and visuals, she consistently mixes this with speculative imagery, adapting tools and techniques to present alternative potentialities. Her recent exhibitions include “Eight Minutes Ago” (Greylight Projects、Belgium, 2019). Bouvier is represented by Harlan Levey Project, Brussels.
