  • KAZUE IWATSUKA

     

    KAZUE IWATSUKA is an artist / designer based in Tokyo.

    My works consist of various elements such as old tools, old furniture, mementos and the specificity of the installation environment.

    The uncertain elements contains the memory (shadow) that places/ cities/ metropolitans have. And I also study human memory (déjà vu) when making works.
