Motohiko Odani
Born in 1972 in Kyoto, currently based in Tokyo.
The artist and sculptor, Motohiko Odani made his debut with the 1997 solo exhibition “Phantom Limb,” in Tokyo, and his works have been showcased at the international exhibitions and art biennales: Lyon Biennale (2000), and the Istanbul Biennale (2001), and notably at the Japan Pavilion as a representative of his country in Venice 2003.
The core theme running through his artistic output encompasses the phantasm in lost physical sensations and transformation of the body, and it explores the ambiguous gap in existence and absence, a state of awakening and a half dreaming. Incorporating diverse media including three-dimensional works, photography, videos in a sculptural installation for the immersive experience and audience interaction, his oeuvre is highly acclaimed in and out of his country.
