Kyoko Kasuya — À propos — Slash Paris

As a multidisciplinary artist, Kyoko Kasuya deploys her work in several forms: photographs, videos, installations and publications. She was deeply marked by the massive earthquake in Japan and the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant which occurred in 2011 during her study of art. By crossing these events, between France and her native country, she started observing contemporary society in detail while examining her own Japanese identity. Her initial studies in English and American literature influence her projects, in particular through the importance and inspiration accorded to writing, so as to create images or figures.

Her work opens up a questioning about sociological and historical subjects through the shifting of existing views, thus contributing to a universal understanding. For she considers that the role of artists is to transmit our memories and our experiences to posterity.
