RENA KUDOH

My work is based on my own memories and habits, mixed with the memories and habits of others, or traces of them.

There is a gap between myself and others where we do not completely understand each other, or cannot understand each other. This gap is a mixture of foreignness to me as an individual and empathy beyond national borders, showing me a world that I have seen before but have never seen before.

 

Creating is an adventure for me to escape from all rigidity.

Fixed images. I take apart and put together images that are as random as a dream, and when I try to remember them, they are already superimposed on other images.

The clay always betrays me correctly.

 

The possibility of separating myself from the rest, of having skin.

Embracing the chaos of moving bodies, of mixing my own experience with someone else's, of encountering the other in me.

 

To live in the universe with a slightly broader perspective than society.

I see it as a play in itself, and I will express it.
