Based in London and Kyoto, Okaku is an artist and animator interested in the principles that constitute the world and transcendental forces. She blends theoretical frameworks such as philosophy, theology, quantum mechanics, and information thermodynamics with stories and ideas from folklore, myths, legends, and the occult. Okaku creates complex works using contemporary technologies such as VR and AI. As an animation artist, she specialises in collage animation, depicting surreal, mythological, and occult landscapes.
ロンドンと京都を拠点に活動。シュルレアリスム、神話、オカルト的な想像風景をアニメーション、オーディオビジュアル・パフォーマンス、インスタレーション、日用品などを媒体に、コラージュの手法を用いて描く。参加者が作品と対峙することにより発生する”想像力に付随する独自性”に焦点をあて、作品への観客の能動的な参加を促しながら、観客へ多様な視点を提示する。
