Born 1976 in Ibaraki Prefecture. Lives and works in Ibaraki. Artist. His wide-ranging, multimedia practice encompasses performance, video, and installation. He spurs defined forms in favor of loose and intuitive approaches exploring the dissonance within words, images, and other commonalities. In late 2006, he formed the group Nadegata Instant Party as another aspect of his practice. From 2011, he has also been in charge of the art direction for Project FUKUSHIMA!

Formed in 2009. Artists’ collective consists of Itaru Kato, Fuminori Hoshino, and Yuu Yoshida. The periodic exploration of developed land and encounters with people and objects there, as well as a sense of incongruity resulting from these experiences, serve as a basis for their artistic expression. hyslom turns “field-play*,” their method for physically and playfully experiencing a given environment, into video, photography, and performative artwork. The group further develops the memories of “field-play” into a wide array of other media, including sculpture, theatre, and film.
