REIKO KANAZAWA’s interest lies in the relation and interaction between social and religious history, as well as her own personal experiences and environment. Using mixed media, including installations, sculptures, video and text, her works interrogate the perception of reality and redefine the divergence between the Western and Japanese ways of perceiving reality in a poetic way.
