Otani Yoichiro

Born in 1990. Born in Osaka. Completed the doctoral program at Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School of Fine Arts. While still in school, I went to Tsinghua University in Beijing as an exchange student. While searching for new connections between characters, he creates visual poems using kanji. I'm trying to draw out the possibilities hidden in words and images through the fluctuations that occur between seeing and reading. Every time viewers look around, scattered characters meet, and a chain of chance is born. By going beyond the framework of reading logically and sequentially and getting closer to a world of simultaneous and direct acceptance, we will create a poetry space where kanji resonate with each other.
