This video work pays homage to "Dancer" (1938) by the painter Ryōhei Koiso. Behind a stage that commands attention, a green-faced dancer sits quietly, returning the gaze directed toward her.
Stillness and movement, front and back, subject and object, earnestness and humor—these elements continuously shift and overlap, refusing to settle into a single meaning.

Keito Mitoma has developed her practice through a variety of media, including video, sculptural objects, and performance. The constituent elements of her works are equally diverse, ranging from found products and language to the artist herself. Underlying these varied expressions is a condition in which opposing forces coexist—for example, stillness and movement, or subject and object. These tense relationships are subtly dislocated through gestures that are at once humorous and light-handed. As a result, surface meanings remain suspended, interrupting the viewer’s attempt at interpretation. When confronted with Mitoma’s works, our unconscious assumptions about what constitutes “art” or the “correct” way to understand it are quietly unsettled. Through the confusion and sense of estrangement that emerge when meaning is left suspended, Mitoma seeks to reexamine the very nature of art itself with a subtle sense of irony. 2001 Born in Hyogo 2026 MFA, Kyoto City University of Arts Selected Solo Exhibitions and Group Exhibitions 2023 solo exhibition, kumagusuku SAS, Kyoto 2025 Keito Mitoma & Ryotaro Yamaguchi ""Floating Island"", Hakari Contemporary, Kyoto 2025 Keito Mitoma solo exhibition ""Voices from two places"" and Sennosuke Tanaka solo exhibition ""Two fold room"", COPYCENTER GALLERY, Tokyo Selected Awards 2025 Encouragement Award, 2024 Kyoto City University of Arts Exhibition 2026 Mayor's Award for Graduate Students, 2025 Kyoto City University of Arts Exhibition
