KUBOTAOGUISS Tomohiro focuses on the aspect of cultural assets as "debt," developing works that often do not involve physical creation through acts such as the temporary relocation of objects, contractual agreements, and assuming the debts of others. His practice critically examines how art intersects with institutional and economic systems through processes of ownership, management, relocation, and preservation. Recent works explore the relationships between ownership and accountability within communities, tracing how debt expands from individuals to organizations and ultimately to institutional frameworks, drawing from personal experiences and actual events.
