Hibiki Yamada / 山田響己 (ヤマダヒビキ)


Born in Kumamoto, Japan, Hibiki Yamada is an artist currently based in Tokyo, working mainly on site-specific installation through media such as videos, sounds, sculptures,  texts and performance. With the educational background of architecture, Hibiki’s practice mainly focuses on expanding modalities of sensory and cognitive relationship between bodies, objects and spaces, extending from the field of contemporary art to performing arts.

Space, for me, is essentially negative. It is a conceptual gap defined by the placement of bodies and objects in the certain environment, which can also be described as a margin or a pause, implying that space cannot be presented unless we perceive it. In that way, space reveals its metaphysical and political characteristics since it requires surroundings, which are positive, to exist. In the process of perception which integrates external information with internal memories, bodies can become the frame that disorients and distorts the rational way of understanding of the world in which we live. 

Metabolising cinematographic, theatrical, choreographic references, I speculate the modalities of sensory and cognitive relationship between bodies, objects and spaces by combining multiple media with the help of notions such as speed and scale.
