Hinterland is a first time collaboration between two Japanese artists, London based Hiraki Sawa and Tetsuya Umeda from Osaka Japan.
Sawa is known internationally for videos and installations that create powerful psychological situations by interweaving the domestic and the fantastic. His works create compelling interior worlds and meditate upon themes of memory and displacement. He has chosen to work with Osaka based Umeda in an experimental show which begins with the two working in parallel at Roaming ROOM. This will develop into a joint exhibition, including three live actions which will occur intermittently during the show.
Both artists are well known in their field, but this is their first collaboration.
ROAMING ROOM
Roaming ROOM is an art facility: we animate found buildings. We collaborate with artists to instigate compelling imaginative experiments, to produce new works and present projects that may not always be possible within commercial spaces. This important exhibition is funded by
Arts Council England and the Elephant Trust.
