Tomio Koyama Gallery Kyobashi is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Charlotte Dumas entitled “Entendue / The Brush in Your Hand.”
Charlotte Dumas was born in the Netherlands in 1977 and continues to be based in Amsterdam. Based on animals with a deep historical connection to humans such as horses and dogs, her works present careful observations of their history, as well as their status and position within our culture. Using photography and video as her primary mediums, she sometimes weaves personal memories and family histories into her work.
In 2020, she held the exhibition “Bezoar” (Gallstone) at the Ginza Maison Hermès Le Forum, which featured installations that combine photography, video, objects, and indigo-dyed fabrics, winning her critical acclaim.
Dumas maintains a deep connection with Japan, as seen in her series “Ao” (Blue), for example, which consists of photographs of the wild horses of Yonaguni Island in Okinawa. This series was presented at her 2023 solo exhibition at our gallery.
This exhibition features photographic works from her new series “Entendue,” which is centered on memories of her own father and elephants. It also includes the premiere screening of her new film The Brush in Your Hand, and an installation that makes use of the film’s set. The Brush in Your Hand is also scheduled to be screened at Le Studio, the reservation-only mini-theater at Ginza Maison Hermès Le Forum.
