Yu Kuramoto

Yu Kuramoto often takes social habits or iconic symbols are very evident in public domain as my point of departure. Her particular interest is a key element that plays a major role in those domains. She plays with it; transform its function, its shape, its location, and give a new agency to the element, simply demonstrating to see it with different eyes, suggesting to understand it very imaginary way, bring it into your private sphere.   In her artistic practice, She deals with the area between public and private domain. She makes a combination of visual works; mostly drawings, videos and sculptures, thus she constructs an installation, in which all visual works orchestrate for demonstrating one principal idea of the work. Each visual work can also be seen as a description of an episode in the working process as well as a sequence of the events in the exhibition. Yu Kuramoto clarifies a point of departure in the presentation by staging images of original material sources. Acknowledging `the original` is one of the significant factors in her work.
