Saki Otsuka
GALLERY ETHER is pleased to announce MONSTER, a new solo-exhibition of photographic, installation, and multi-media works with accompanying writing by Tokyo based multi-disciplinary artist SAKI OTSUKA, to be held from Saturday, August 6th to Saturday, August 27th.
SAKI OTSUKA is a Tokyo native and multidisciplinary artist whose work is often focused around female themes and rooted in the belief that our lives are our own creations. In MONSTER, OTSUKA presents us with the continuation of three individual but interrelated series of works aimed at revealing and confronting the residual pains and stigmas of past traumas.
In the installation and embellished photo series of the same name, MONSTER, being continued now for the first time in 3 years, the artist presents us with a new installation and collection of “inner” self-portraits that examine the multiplicitous nature of the “self” and identity as they exists presently, within the echoes of the past.
In the ongoing Crows series, the artist delves into the thoughts and memories of her childhood, ruminating on the nature of necessity and survival, within and without the ever encroaching and selfish society of mankind.
Themes of trauma and the nature of mankind converge in Thorn Mountains, an ongoing series of photographs depicting stoic yet ominous landscapes in which the natural world is blighted by the “thorns” of human society, much as we are all blighted by the “invisible thorns” of our pasts.
SAKI OTSUKA has been shooting self-portraits, along with images of crows and “thorn mountains” for many years. This new solo-exhibition is centered around the artist’s own writings.
