Aki Sasamoto's Life Laboratory

Aki Sasamoto invites viewers to her singular ‘life laboratory’ at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.

Her mid-career retrospective traces the evolution of her practice through installations, documentation, and live performances.

Over the past two decades, the Japanese artist has developed a unique performance/installation practice, producing installations of absurd sculptural devices.

These devices serve as an object-based score and environment for improvised performances, combining humorous spoken narratives with physical actions and mark-making.

Her retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo traces the evolution of her performance/installation practice.

Aki Sasamoto's work includes Sounding Lines (2024), at Para Site, Hong Kong.
