A contemporary artist who creates cross-disciplinary artworks based on field research and interviews. Her primary media are video and installation. She explores the concept of “frontiers”—geographical,
social, and psychophysical—and investigates how art can expand the possibilities of the body and the vitality of life.
In recent years, as part of this inquiry, she has focused on themes such as road movies, eating-with-hands practices, and shanshui (Chinese landscape traditions). In 2022, she founded TESHOKU Web (https://teshoku.com), an online archive documenting eating-with-hands cultures around the world, where she serves as director and editor. More recently, she has also begun exploring sound-based practices.
She completed an MFA in Intermedia Art at Tokyo University of the Arts. After leaving the doctoral program in the same department, she graduated from the Shiga University of Medical Science.
