Ayumi KANNO
Kanno creates installations based on videos and drawings created by piecing together fragmented and seemingly unrelated memories of the same place and speculating why people have spun sight-specific folklore and ghost stories there. Through these works, she aims to bring together elements that have been divided and reconnect them. In recent years, she has been experimenting with creating her own works in a 3DCG space, as sight-specific alternative folklore.
