The Key in the Hand, 2015
Nasce a Osaka, in Giappone, nel 1972. Vive e lavora a Berlino.
L'artista è meglio conosciuta per creare degli ambienti monumentali, costituiti interamente da dense texture di fili intrecciati. Strutture suggestive che riescono ad essere allo stesso tempo delicate e poetiche, sempre in bilico tra l'eterea vacuità suggerita dalla tessitura e l'ingombrante materialità di ciò che è sospeso al loro interno.
È stata presente a numerose mostre collettive e personali ospitate in tutto il mondo. Le sue personali includono: Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (2019), K21-Kunstsammlung NRW, Dusseldorf, Germania (2015), Espai de arte contemporani Castelló, Castello, Spain (2014), Smithsonian Institution Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington D.C., USA (2014), The Museum of Art, Koch, Giappone (2013), La Maison Rouge, Parigi, France (2011), The National Museum of Art, Osaka, Giappone e CentrePasquArt, Biel/Bienne, Svizzera (2008).
