- Odani Motohiko
- Born in Kyoto, 1972.
The core theme of his work encompasses the spiritual phantasm in lost physical sensations and transformation of the body, and explores ambivalent gap between existence/absence, magic/salvation, real/unreal, rationality/irrationality, and a state of awakening/half dreaming. He conducts extensive research and practice to bring a new perspective to the deconstruction of the history of modern and contemporary sculpture in Japan.
His works have been showcased at the international exhibitions including Lyon Biennale (2000), Istanbul Biennale (2001), and at the Japan Pavilion in Venice (2003). His artistic interest and sensibility further reach out to the genealogies of sculpture and expand to diverse media, and his oeuvre is highly acclaimed in and out of his country. His recent exhibitions include, Hyakunengo Art Festival-Environment and desire~(2024, Kisarazu, Chiba) and Godzilla 70th Anniversary Godzilla The Art Exhibition, Mori Arts Center Gallery (2025, Tokyo) Setouchi Triennale 2025: KONBO-YA, (2025, Megijima, Kagawa)
