Artist Profile
Aoi SasakiA visual and sound artist based in Hokkaido, carrying an innate animistic worldview and lived experience of schizophrenia , a condition that brought with it the dissolution of a fixed sense of self. After being discharged from a psychiatric hospital in 2002, she began drawing her beloved animals with whatever colored pencils were at hand, as a way of questioning what it means to be alive. She later moved to Nibutani, Hokkaido ,a community with a significant Ainu population , and then to Sapporo, where she began composing for piano. In 2022, the band in which she performed and composed was selected as a finalist in the Sapporo City Jazz Park Jazz Live Contest. In recent years she has also been creating video art. She aspires to express the blessing of life ,in her own unmistakable voice, through image and sound.
