Hanayo
From photographs and collages that convey scenes from her daily life in distinctly dreamy palettes, installations in which she combines such images with music and three-dimensional representation, to avant-garde performances, Hanayo has continued to develop her own individual style both within Japan and internationally through engaging in artistic practices across various different realms. This exhibition marks her third solo presentation at Taka Ishii Gallery. It will feature a video work that symbolically captures the subtle yet precious moments of her everyday on 8mm film, in addition to a series of experimental photographic works characterized by the beautiful expressions of their grain.
As a geisha, model, actress, singer, performer, photographer and artist – from the very beginning of her career Hanayo has developed her practice within an extensive scope and through connections between multiple genres in a manner incomparable to the standard figure of the artist who focuses and works within a single field. What permeates the undercurrent of her oeuvre is a unique Weltanschauung that Jérôme Sans describes as, the “Hana-world.” Her insatiable curiosity as well as vivacious sensibility and intuition that has been cultivated through her encounter with various cultures has resulted in a series of fruitful collaborations with numerous creators and artists.
