An art collective based in Suzu, Oku-Noto, founded in 2017 by Kenta Shinya and Hiromi Kaede.
By tracing the historical and cultural contexts rooted in the land, they create projects that foster the transformation of relationships and values by provisionally enclosing environments—where diverse things, events, and people intersect—within parentheses ( ).
Their practice explores the theme of “the medium as a corporeal means of caring for situations where subject and object are interwoven.”
Within these provisional parentheses, they discover the multiplicity of the world and continue to respond to society through their work.
