Tension vibrates through Kei Imazu’s oeuvre, where images that normally would never meet are interwoven to create unprecedented mise-en-scènes. In her surrealistic paintings, 3D-printed sculptures, and installations, all marrying organic entities with cybernetics, the ghosts of art history and imperial violence meet contemporary catastrophes—an encounter mediated through Imazu’s personal experience as a Japanese artist living in Bandung, Indonesia. Her vivacious tableaux convey a desire to confront her mother country’s dark past, as well as to comment on the socio-ecological issues of the archipelagic nation in which she currently resides.
