Industrial Landscapes, Bodies. Experimentation, Propagation: The World of Hiroko Komatsu
In this episode of Multiply Encoded Messages, MEM Director Katsuya Ishida and art writer Stuart Munro dive deep into the genre-defying practice of Komatsu Hiroko, an artist whose work is defined by contradiction and unconventionality. The discussion centers around a recorded interview with Komatsu during her 2021 exhibition, Ocular Inverse Transgression.
Ishida and Munro trace Komatsu’s evolution as an artist, from her initial fascination with disorienting industrial landscapes to her expansive installations that consume the exhibition spaces. They highlight her unorthodox presentation methods, such as photographs exhibited on the floor, images hung from the ceiling, and unexpected interruptions with television screens and projectors, creating immersive environments that force the viewer to engage with the artwork.
