HIWADROMEにしてARKなるもの。
Profile
Born in Osaka. He creates video works and performances exploring themes of physicality. His HIWADROME series, which uses wheelchairs—both as a material and for his own mobility—serves as a foundational line of his practice.
Through travel, workshops, and architectural interventions, he examines and proposes new perspectives on mobility and accessibility in his project walkingpractice™. He also develops TRAIL by walkingpractice™, a road-surface recording project using a wheelchair weaving machine, and experimental noise sound gigs featuring the Electric Wheelchair Sound Generator.
