Kaeko Mizukoshi
Kaeko Mizukoshi investigates the function of image, representation, and the structure of historiography. Her works unchain images from conventional or existing roles, emphasizing the indefiniteness and perpetual metamorphosis of the meaning of image. In her recent works, the idea of “documentary” is interrogated and transformed to push its boundary in new directions. Currently Mizukoshi practices on the idea of what she calls “images in the process of being documented,” resulting in the collapse of pre-existing historical imagery and imprinted forms into an altered perceptive space.
Kaeko Mizukoshi (born 1976, Tokyo) studied at The State Academy of Fine Arts – Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main and graduated from Tama Art University, Tokyo. Recent shows include The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Shanghai, 2012; The Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo; The Korea Foundation Art Gallery, Seoul, 2011; Doosan Gallery and Gallery LOOP, Seoul, 2009. She received a fellowship from Asian Cultural Council and participated in the Location One Residency Program in New York in 2009. She also been awarded grants from the Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkacho) and Yoshino Gypsum Art Foundation, Tokyo.
