關於藝術家

Sasaoka Yuriko was born in 1988 in Osaka, Japan. In her practice, Sasaoka investigates the limits and potentiality of representation through various modalities of entertainment, including theater, song, and the collective screen. Through immersive video installations that often involve the idea of the marionette—a symbol of sociopolitical puppeteering and gendered normativity—she expands the interstitial spaces between the surreal and the lucid. In her works, she performs as multiple characters, liberating narratives from rigid ideas around gender, identity, and history, and referencing Osaka's long storytelling traditions. 

Her work has been shown at the 14th Shanghai Biennial (Shanghai); Shiga Museum of Art, Shiga; Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts (Taipei); VBKÖ (Vienna); and TRAFO Center for Contemporary Art (Szczecin, Poland). Her work has been collected by KADIST, Paris; Akeroyd Collection, Hong Kong; BY ART MATTERS, Hangzhou; Shiga Museum of Art, Shiga; ZHI Art Foundation, Beijing; and more.
